Medical Care should not cause harm
Doctors, nurses, and hospitals have a duty to provide care that meets accepted standards in the medical profession. When they fail — whether through surgical mistakes, missed diagnoses, medication errors, or neglect — the consequences can be life-altering. Patients suffer permanent injuries, prolonged illness, or even wrongful death.
Medical malpractice law in Illinois is complex, but victims have rights. Our firm helps individuals and families pursue justice when trusted professionals breach that trust.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Common types of medical malpractice cases in Illinois include:
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cancer, stroke, or cardiac conditions
Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving tools inside patients, or causing nerve damage
Birth injuries, including cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia, and oxygen deprivation
Anesthesia errors, including improper intubation, overmedication, or failure to monitor
Medication errors, such as incorrect dosages, wrong prescriptions, or allergic reactions
Hospital-acquired infections and sepsis due to unsanitary conditions
Failure to obtain informed consent
Emergency room negligence (missed fractures, misread scans, discharge without testing)
