Illinois Medical Malpractice Law Firm

Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical malpractice results when a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider fails to meet the necessary standard of care, and injury or death occurs as a result.  Medical malpractice includes misdiagnosis, the failure to provide appropriate treatment or a delay of treatment. For example, medical malpractice may happen when a patient is not properly taken care of during surgery, when a doctor fails to read test results, when medicine is improperly prescribed, or when a patient is not adequately monitored while in the hospital.

The Chicago medical malpractice attorneys at The Law Group, Ltd. represent patients who have suffered as a result of the negligence of a doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider, or who have been victims of neglect or abuse by a nursing home or other institution. In order to determine if the claim is valid, our Illinois medical malpractice attorneys will retain highly qualified medical professionals to review the medical records and provide their expert opinion.
