Chicago Illinois Medical & Dental Malpractice Lawyers

Each year, nearly 100,000 people die of medical errors—and many more are left catastrophically injured or traumatized. Mistakes made by medical professionals and treatment centers in testing, diagnosis, treatment or care may potentially be a medical or dental malpractice claim. These medical negligence claims can include hospitals or medical clinics, hospital or medical clinic staff, and such health care professionals as doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and pharmacists.

Medical malpractice claims may include:

• Wrongly written or filled prescriptions
• Negligence or errors that cause birth injuries, including cerebral palsy or brain damage
• Misdiagnosis of cancers, strokes, heart attacks or less serious conditions
• Failure to diagnose conditions that would have improved with timely and correct treatment, including infections and cancers
• Surgical, dental, anesthesia or other medical errors, such as the improper handling of patient records and the misreading of blood tests, x-rays, CT-scans, and other test results.
