Our Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyers’ Record of Success
Because of our firm’s extensive experience handling Chicago medical malpractice claims, we have been able to help many victims and their families recover financial compensation for their injuries.

Some of our cases have included:
- A wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a Chicago family who suffered the loss of their infant son at the age of only 40 days due to an excessive sodium dose which caused his fatal injuries.

There are strict deadlines for filing medical malpractice actions. In Illinois, medical malpractice actions must generally be brought within two years from the date the victim knew, or should have known, of the malpractice. If the victim of the malpractice is a minor, the statute of limitations is generally longer.
Some specific situations involving medical malpractice have different statutes of limitations from those described above. The statute of limitations may be running on your claim, so time is of the essence.
