Medical Negligence in Illinois

Chicago attorney helps victims recover compensation

A special relationship exists between physicians and their patients. Physicians owe their patients a duty to provide a certain standard of care, using at least the level of skill, care and diligence that is generally exercised by fellow practitioners in the medical professions. It is considered medical negligence when a medical professional breaches that duty through negligence or carelessness and causes injury to a patient. Medical malpractice victims may recover compensation for their injuries, including for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost income.

Experienced medical negligence attorneys

Peter D. Kasdin, Ltd. has successfully represented medical negligence clients in Chicago and throughout Chicago Area, IL for years, routinely obtaining generous awards on cases involving birth injuries, orthopedic surgeries, anesthesia, emergency medicine, hospital nursing care, nursing home care, cosmetic surgeries, prescription drug mistakes, psychiatric care and eye surgeries.

To prevail on a medical negligence claim, expert medical testimony is generally required to establish that the medical care or diagnosis was negligent and that this negligence caused the patient’s injuries. I regularly consult with a number of licensed medical professionals and retain prominent medical experts who have a gift for clearly explaining medical mistakes to jurors.

Timely action is vital

Illinois law sets statutory deadlines for filing medical negligence claims. In addition, investigating your negligence claim immediately after the injury occurs preserves crucial evidence and valuable testimony.
