How do I Know if I Have a Medical Malpractice Claim?
A medical malpractice lawsuit in Illinois can be filed by a victim of a medical error, a family member of someone that was killed as a result of a medical error, or the parent or guardian of a minor that was injured by a medical error. These lawsuits are intended to help injured victims recover monetary damages for what they have been through as a result of the medical professional negligence. They also send a message to wrongdoers that substandard medical care by in a hospital, clinic, long-term care facility or doctor’s office will never be tolerated.
When Should I Contact an Attorney About a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Medical malpractice lawsuits in Illinois typically must be filed within two years from the time the medical mistake is realized, or should reasonably have been realized. However, the timeframe varies, such as if the victim was a minor at the time of the malpractice. Because of all the factors that may affect the filing deadline for a medical malpractice lawsuit, it is important to talk to a lawyer as soon as you suspect negligence in order to find out when, and if, you can still file a lawsuit against the negligent hospital or medical provider.
How do I Choose a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
When deciding on the best medical malpractice attorney in Illinois for your case, it is important to ask what types of experience an attorney and their firm has with medical malpractice lawsuits, and if they have handled cases similar to yours. It is also important to see what kind of success rate the law firm has in terms of medical malpractice cases, often apparent through their verdicts and settlement record. It is crucial to choose the best attorney for your case to maximize your recovery.
What Will a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Cost Me?
Out attorneys understand that injuries caused by medical mistakes can be devastating not only physically and emotionally, but also financially. We want you to be able to seek fair and reasonable compensation without having to be constantly worrying about costs.
