What is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
The civil legal system allows victims who are hurt by mistakes made by others to file a lawsuit to recover for their losses. When the person who made the mistake is a doctor, nurse, nurse’s assistant, dentist, or other healthcare worker, the lawsuit is considered a medical malpractice case. It often takes a close investigation and analysis by medical malpractice lawyers before the true extent of the mistake is uncovered. The first step is contacting a lawyer and sharing your story.
Who Can File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
All victims of medical mistakes can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Also, parents are able to contact legal representatives on behalf of their children if a child is hurt. If the victim dies as a result of the error the surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit.
How Much Does Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim Cost?
One of the first questions often asked about these cases is the cost. Our medical malpractice attorneys work hard so that all victims have access to the legal system, regardless of their financial situation.
We work on a contingent fee basis. That means that all court costs, the investigation costs, and other expenses are covered by our office. We only collect money if your case reaches a successful conclusion. This payment system allows all victims to hold the negligent professional accountable for their error without needing money up front.
When Can a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit be Filed?
Time is an important factor in these cases. The law has specific guidelines in place that force victims to file a lawsuit within a certain time after learning about the error. In medical malpractice cases this limit is usually 2 years. That is why is it crucial that you contact a Chicago medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible so that the consultation, investigation, and other matters can be handled within the allowable time frame. There are also some exceptions to these Statutes of Limitations, and your attorney can tell you if your case involves those exceptions.
