Medical Malpractice

Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals must provide competent treatment. If they negligently cause more damage than they cure, they can be subject to medical malpractice claims or lawsuits. Through a medical malpractice lawsuit, an injured person can get compensation for the medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses that result from the mistreatment.

An Experienced Attorney is a Necessity

Medical malpractice cases are not easy to handle. They require tremendous amounts of both legal and medical knowledge, and often involve going against large, wealthy hospitals. The Chicago medical malpractice lawyers of Lane & Lane, LLC, however, have more than 90 combined years of experience and are among the nation's leaders in personal injury plaintiff work.

Our attorneys can meet with you free of charge to review your situation and determine whether you have a case. If we believe you do, we can do all later work on contingency, charging no attorneys' fees unless and until a recovery is made. Contact us to set up an appointment.

Types of Medical Malpractice Negligence

Just a few examples of mistreatment that can result in medical malpractice litigation are:

• Incorrect diagnosis
• Failure to diagnose
• Failure to promptly treat a patient's condition
• Birth injuries : cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and others
• Surgical errors
• Medication errors
• Emergency room errors
• Burns

Medical malpractice suits can be brought against hospitals and any type of medical worker. Doctors and surgeons are the most common defendants, but cases are regularly brought against nurses and other health care providers as well.

To help us make our case in medical malpractice litigation, our attorneys work with leading experts in the applicable fields. A key to winning such cases is in demonstrating that the treatment did not meet accepted standards of care. The testimony of respected medical experts is crucial in convincing juries of our assertions.
