Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Chicago, Illinois

Malpractice, specifically medical malpractice, constitutes a doctor or health care provider doing something he or she is not supposed to do. Medical malpractice also includes negligence, a situation in which the doctor does not perform required tasks within the acceptable standards of care required of the doctor and injury is caused by the sub-standard practice. If you or someone you love is injured as a result of medical malpractice, a lawyer at the Chicago, Illinois firm of Gary D. McCallister & Associates, LCC can help you understand your rights.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases

Unfortunately, medical malpractice is one of the most common causes of personal injury and wrongful death. Medical malpractice cases can be divided into many types: birth-related injuries to mother and child, failure to diagnose and treat cancers of all kinds, surgical errors, the improper prescription of drugs, the failure to properly diagnose and treat medical conditions, the failure to follow up with patients and provide referral to specialists who may be better able to treat the condition, and more. If you suspect that an medical error is to blame for your injury, or for the death of a loved one, you should speak with a lawyer immediately.

A medical malpractice lawsuit can be successfully pursued by immediately finding an experienced medical malpractice lawyer familiar with the condition you may have to assist you. A time limit, also known as the statute of limitations, can prevent you from bringing a medical malpractice claim if you wait too long, thus it is important to contact a medical malpractice lawyer quickly.

Medical Malpractice Laws

Statute of limitations for medical malpractice may vary from state to state. It is important to discuss medical malpractice cases with a lawyer who is experienced with the laws in your state. It is also important to know that some states have imposed a limit or a cap on the maximum amount of money victims can recover from a medical malpractice lawsuit. The state of Illinois, however, is challenging this law in the state Supreme Court. Consulting with a medical malpractice lawyer from our Chicago, Illinois firm who has experience in dealing with medical malpractice cases is imperative.
