What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider makes an error or fails to deliver the expected standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient.

What Is NOT Medical Malpractice?

Not every patient dissatisfaction with medical care constitutes malpractice, for example:

  • Unexpected complications or unsatisfactory results from a surgery or treatment
  • A missed diagnosis due to insufficient information provided by the patient
  • A known risk or complication arising during a procedure

Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases in Orland Park, IL

Our Orland Park medical malpractice attorneys handle many types of medical negligence cases. Common forms include:

  • Missed, incorrect, or delayed diagnosis
  • Birth injuries
  • Surgical errors and anesthesia errors
  • Operating on the wrong body part
  • Foreign objects left inside a patient after surgery
  • Failure to monitor vital signs
  • Medication errors
  • Nursing home abuse
  • Failure to obtain informed consent
  • Other medical errors

Common Types of Injuries from Medical Malpractice

What Types of Injuries Can Medical Malpractice Cause in Orland Park?

Medical mistakes can result in serious injuries. Victims may suffer brain injuries, infections and sepsis, nerve damage, scarring and disfigurement, birth injuries, catastrophic injuries, or wrongful death.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer for a Medical Malpractice Injury Claim?

Proving medical treatment malpractice is notoriously difficult; these are often complex cases. Hiring skilled medical malpractice lawyers with a deep understanding of the medical and legal process can greatly increase your chances of receiving fair financial compensation. Illinois courts may require specific types of documentation or expert testimony, which a lawyer can help gather.

The best lawyers will outline your legal options, communicate with transparency, consult with medical experts, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, identify the expenses related to your injury, and represent you in court if necessary to secure fair compensation. These lawsuits can take months or years to resolve, but we’ll guide you every step of the way.

What to Do When You Suspect Medical Malpractice

If you suspect medical malpractice, take these steps:

  1. Seek medical attention in a timely manner. Document all treatment received.
  2. Gather evidence related to the substandard care or harm caused, with medical records and receipts.
  3. Contact a medical malpractice lawyer for a consultation and case evaluation.
  4. Do not sign documents or accept settlements from insurance companies without consulting your lawyer first.

Types of Compensation for Medical Malpractice Victims

If your medical malpractice lawsuit is successful, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, necessary tests, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and punitive damages (in rare cases).

What Is My Orland Park Medical Malpractice Case Worth?

There are no damage caps in Illinois, so settlements can exceed national averages. An experienced medical malpractice attorney assesses the value of your case based on factors like injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, future earning potential, other expenses, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

Can I Recover Malpractice Compensation If I Had a Preexisting Condition?

Yes, you often can. If a doctor or other medical provider was negligent, and your preexisting condition worsened, you may still be entitled to compensation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

Under the statute of limitations, Illinois law requires filing within two years of injury discovery, but exceptions exist. Missing the deadline can leave victims without a way to pursue financial recovery. Even though you have multiple years to pursue a lawsuit, it’s important to act quickly.
