Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable

Holding Healthcare Providers Accountable

When you seek medical care, you trust healthcare professionals to provide competent treatment. When that trust is broken due to negligence, substandard care, or medical errors, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury to the patient. To prove medical malpractice, we must establish:

  • A doctor-patient relationship existed
  • The healthcare provider breached the standard of care
  • The breach directly caused injury or harm
  • The injury resulted in specific damages

  • Wrongful death

Time Limits on Medical Malpractice Claims

Illinois has strict deadlines for filing medical malpractice claims. Generally, you must file within two years of discovering the injury, but no more than four years from the date of the negligent act. Acting quickly is essential to preserve your rights.
