What is a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
A medical malpractice lawsuit is brought against a doctor, nurse, dentist or any other medical care provider if their negligence seriously injured or killed a patient. A medical malpractice lawsuit is intended to help victims or their families recover damages for medical bills, loss of future income, funeral expenses or other expenses incurred as a result of the negligent action.
Who Can File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?
A medical malpractice lawsuit may be filed by the victim that suffered the injuries or by the family of a victim who died as a result of a medical professional’s errors. Additionally, if you are the parent or legal guardian of a child injured by a medical error, you can file a lawsuit on their behalf.
When Should a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit be Filed?
The statute of limitations on medical malpractice claims varies, so it is very important to contact an attorney if you think you have a possible claim to protect your legal rights.
Typically, a Chicago medical malpractice lawsuit must be filed within two years the error or injury, but there are certain other limitations and exceptions that may be relevant in your case. In wrongful death lawsuits, the statute is also usually two years from the date of death. Given all of these exceptions and different rules, it is definitely best to contact an attorney immediately.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Case Cost?
Initial consultations with our medical malpractice lawyers are completely free, and if we take your case, you will not owe us any fees unless we recover money on your behalf. We work on a contingency basis and if no money is recovered you will owe the firm nothing.
One of the main reasons that this type of payment system can be so beneficial to victims is that the costs associated with trying a medical malpractice case can add up quickly. Having us represent you on a contingent basis means you will only be responsible for these costs if you have a favorable outcome.

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.
