What is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
This type of legal action helps injured victims recover money damages as compensation for what a medical professional either did inappropriately, or failed to do. A medical mistake can be a number of different things including, but not limited to, a missed diagnosis, a delayed diagnosis, nursing home neglect or abuse, or other types of errors on the part of a doctor, nurse, dentist or other medical professional. These lawsuits may be filed by the victim of the injury, the parent or guardian of a child injured by the medical mistake, or by the family of a victim that was wrongfully killed by the medical error.
Are There Time Limitations for Filing a Medical Malpractice Case?
The deadline, or statute of limitations, for a medical malpractice case to be filed in Illinois is usually two years from the time when the injury was first noticed. However, these statutes vary, so it is best to consult with a lawyer immediately if you feel that you may have a case so you do not miss your chance to file.
How do I Choose the Best Medical Malpractice Lawyer for My Case?

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.
