Potentially Recoverable Damages in Medical Malpractice Cases

You may qualify to recover a range of damages after you suffer harm from an act of medical malpractice. Several details can affect the outcome of your case. This is why our lawyers are here to work through the fine points of your case on your behalf. We will assess the incident in detail as we strive to recover any funds you may be owed.

A few examples of potential damages you may recover the cost of from a settlement include:

  • Assistive medical equipment
  • Prescription medications
  • Surgeries and operations
  • Emergency medical assistance
  • Physical therapy
  • Counseling services
  • Rehabilitation programs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of wages

How our Legal Team will help You Build a Strong Case

Our lawyers will assist you by compiling evidence and examining the law to construct your case. As part of this process, we will:

  • Interview witnesses
  • Collect photos and videos
  • Gather foundational information about your situation

From here, our lawyers will get to work on pursuing a settlement that may recover your losses. Medical malpractice cases often involve complex institutional policies and insurance correspondence. Handling these complexities alone is often a source of great stress for victims.

In addition to case results such as these, we also index positive client testimonials to support our claims. One recent client said, “Andrew Kryder is an excellent attorney and trusted advisor. Very strategic and skillful on the multiple matters. He takes his time and listens to all your concerns and questions and answers them to the best of his knowledge.”

You do not have to worry about your finances when you hire our law firm to work on your case. We operate on a contingency fee model, so our lawyers will only collect a fee once we gather a settlement for you. We are also here to offer a free case review to help you go over all of the details of your case upfront.

What Counts as Medical Malpractice?

Several actions can constitute an act of medical malpractice. Our team considers the actions of individual healthcare workers when looking at a case, but we do not stop there. We also examine the potential role of a healthcare organization when assessing your damages.

Some common forms of medical malpractice include the following:

  • Failure to properly diagnose
  • Failure to maintain safe working conditions
  • Failure to properly disinfect and sanitize surfaces and equipment
  • Failure to operate medical devices and equipment
  • Employee impairment and intoxication
  • Prescription errors
  • Failure to treat a symptom or condition
  • Birth injuries
  • Surgical errors and mistakes

Assessing the Relevance of State Laws and Statutes

Several state laws can impact the outcome of your medical malpractice case in Illinois. For example, the medical malpractice statute of limitations in Illinois outlined in 735 ILCS 5/13-202 shows that victims who suffer from medical malpractice have a limited time within which they are allowed to take legal action. If you fail to move forward with your case within this time frame, the court will throw out your case.

Our team of lawyers will take these kinds of state and local laws into consideration when working on your case. We have experience in navigating statutes and laws that pertain to medical malpractice cases. If you have any questions about how such local laws may impact you, our team is here to answer them for you as your case progresses.

How Should You Proceed After Experiencing Medical Malpractice?

A study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) showed that medical errors are estimated to be the third-leading cause of death in the United States. To add to this, acts of medical malpractice are also responsible for many personal injuries. If you suffered harm due to a medical error, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

After getting help to begin your recovery, securing legal help can help you to exercise your rights as a victim. Our lawyers understand the difficulties of moving on after suffering an act of medical malpractice. We are here to help you with your unique challenges and advocate for your rights as we build up your case.
