What is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits are filed by victims injured by the medical mistakes or misconduct of a doctor, dentist, nurse, nursing home worker, or other health care professional in a hospital, office, or clinic. These lawsuits may be filed by the victim or the family member of someone wrongfully killed to recover economic and non-economic damages, including but not limited to those for past and future medical bills, lost wages, disability, or pain and suffering.
In addition to helping victims recover compensatory damages, lawsuits also motivate healthcare professionals and facilities to provide better care to patients in order to avoid future litigation.
How do I Choose the Best Medical Malpractice Attorney?
In order to get the justice you deserve and receive fair and reasonable compensation, you need to choose a firm with the experiences and resources needed to handle your complex medical case. You should look at a firm’s record of verdicts and settlements to make sure that they have experience successfully handling cases similar to yours. You should also make sure that the firm has access to a wide network of resources (medical experts, etc.) that may be necessary and helpful in handling your type of medical malpractice lawsuit.
What is the Statute of Limitations for Illinois Medical Malpractice Lawsuits?
The time limit on filing a lawsuit varies, but in Illinois the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice claim is typically two years from the date the injury first became known to the victim, or reasonably should have become known to them. Every case we handle is unique, and the statute of limitations can vary depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, so it is best to contact an Illinois medical malpractice attorney immediately if you think you have a case to make sure you do not miss your chance to file.
How Much Will a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Cost Me?
Our Chicago personal injury attorneys recognize that it is hard for injured victims to cover the cost of filing a lawsuit, so we operate on a contingency basis. This means that you will only pay us an agreed-upon percentage if the case settles or we receive a verdict in your favor with a monetary recovery. A medical mistake leading to serious injury can weigh heavily on the victim, after all the hospital bills, lost wages and other costs. This system gives all victims fair and equal access to the courts, by allowing them to take action even if they are faced with financial hardships.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
