What is Medical Malpractice?
In Illinois, medical malpractice occurs when healthcare professionals—doctors, hospitals or other providers—deviate from accepted care standards, harming a patient. It includes misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries, leading to serious emotional and financial consequences.

Hiring an experienced Beverly medical malpractice lawyer can significantly improve your chances of getting maximum compensation for your injuries.
What Is NOT Medical Malpractice?
Not every time a patient feels dissatisfied with their medical provider does it mean there’s medical malpractice involved. For instance:
Not achieving desired results or experiencing unexpected complications from a surgery or treatment
A doctor’s failure to diagnose a condition due to lack of information provided by the patient
A known risk or complication occurring during a procedure
