A person injured due to the negligent or reckless acts of another may recover financial compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, future medical needs, and other expenses as a result of the accident. A negligence claim has a better chance of success if accompanied by a robust investigation of the facts surrounding the case. The injured person may be awarded compensation from additional parties if it can be proved that multiple individuals or entities were also liable for the accident victim’s injuries. A doctor or hospital’s conduct that falls short of the standard of care that results in injury to the patient is medical malpractice. Examples of medical malpractice include post-surgical errors, missed or delayed cancer diagnoses, preventable anesthesia-related complications, and other types of negligent behavior. Our Chicago medical malpractice lawyers are well-versed in the law and have working relationships with expert doctors and medical consultants nationwide. There is a limited amount of time for patients to file medical malpractice claims. Birth injury can occur in numerous situations during the labor and delivery process. One or more factors may affect the outcome, including premature birth, failure to appropriately monitor the progress of labor, excessive force used during delivery, the use of forceps in an inappropriate manner, and caesarian section not performed in a timely manner. Avoidable, preventable injuries due to a medical professional’s negligence can impact child and family for the rest of their lives. Sexual abuse litigation involves legal proceedings where a survivor seeks justice for harm suffered through non-consensual sexual acts, exploitation, or harassment. This can encompass civil lawsuits aimed at obtaining financial compensation for physical, emotional, and psychological damages. For almost 30 years we have represented the victims of sexual predators, including the victims of R. Kelly.
