Medical Malpractice Claims in Illinois

What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a legal cause of action that occurs when a medical or health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, deviates from standards in their profession, thereby causing injury to a patient. The negligence might arise from errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management.
Do I Have a Case?
Determining if you are the victim of medical malpractice requires a thorough review of your medical records, seeking the expert opinion of another medical professional, and careful evaluation of whether the standard of care was not met.
Let an Experienced Lawyer Navigate Your Complex Case
Medical malpractice claims can be very complex and expensive. If not handled correctly, you may lose any right to compensation, so obtaining experienced legal assistance is a must. Barber Law Offices LLC uses medical experts, and witnesses, and has the resources necessary to prove your case in court.
A layperson is not in a position to successfully take on any medical practitioner or institution. You would be well advised not to try and resolve the matter yourself, but rather contact a Medical Malpractice attorney like Scott at Barber Law Offices LLC to take on the case for you.
Expert Witnesses
The injured party must present testimony from an expert, like a doctor or other healthcare professional who practices in the same specialty as the defendant. The expert needs to establish what the standard of care is AND that the defendant failed to meet it and as a result, the patient was injured.
