What is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
A medical malpractice lawsuit is intended to help victims of medical errors recover money damages when they suffer serious injuries because of a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional’s misconduct or mistakes. This could be a missed or wrong diagnosis, nursing home abuse or neglect, birthing errors, inappropriate prescription, or a number of other types of mistakes in a hospital, clinic or doctor’s office.
In addition to compensating victims, lawsuits hold wrongdoers accountable and motivate them to provide better care in order to avoid future litigation.
What Will a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Cost Me?
Our lawyers handle medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. What this means is that you do not pay us any money unless or until your case is successfully resolved. Then, our attorneys collect a percentage of the total compensation recovered.
Victims of medical malpractice are often faced with lost wages, or the inability to work at all. When coupled with ongoing medical treatments, this creates a situation where it is very hard for injured victims to front the high costs of a lawsuit. We are committed to making sure that each and every victim of preventable medical errors has their day in court. A contingent fee basis allows victims to take action to hold wrongdoers accountable, even when they are struggling financially.
Can I Still File my Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
Usually, a medical malpractice suit must be filed in Illinois within two years of the time the injury is realized or reasonably should have been realized by the person injured. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations. However, this time limit does not apply to all cases, and there are a number of exceptions depending on the circumstances surrounding your case. To determine the statute as it applies to your particular case, please make sure to contact a lawyer immediately if you think that you might have a medical malpractice claim to make sure that you get the opportunity to file if it is still available.

Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful.
