Frequently asked questions

Questions People Ask After a Medical Negligence

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, or hospital provides treatment that falls below the accepted standard of care in the medical community, directly causing injury or death to the patient.

Illinois law requires your attorney to file an affidavit confirming that a qualified, independent healthcare professional has reviewed your records and determined there is a reasonable, meritorious basis for a malpractice lawsuit.

You generally have two years from the date you discovered, or reasonably should have discovered, the injury. However, Illinois sets an absolute four-year limit from the date the medical error actually occurred, regardless of discovery.

Yes, if the victim was a minor under the age of eighteen when the malpractice occurred, Illinois law allows up to eight years from the date of the error to file, but the claim must be brought before the individual’s twenty-second birthday.

Yes, if a physician failed to order standard diagnostic tests, misread lab results, or ignored clear symptoms that a competent doctor would have caught, you can hold them liable for the advanced illness caused by the delay.

No, signing a consent form only means you agreed to the known, unavoidable risks of a procedure. It never gives a medical provider permission to act negligently or perform substandard work during surgery.
