Illinois Personal Injury Attorneys

Doctors and hospitals treat an ever-increasing caseload of patients, using sophisticated procedures and devices to fix very complicated medical conditions.

But despite the successes and miracles taking place in medical settings, Chicago medical malpractice attorneys occasionally see lapses in judgment by medical practitioners, as well as deviations from approved standards of care, resulting in harm to patients.

Illinois Personal Injury attorneys can fight for you

If this harm is caused by negligence or misconduct by a medical professional or facility, it is medical malpractice.  Medical mistakes often harm patients in the following ways:

• Impaired physical or cognitive function
• Wrongful death, funeral, and burial expenses
• Surgical expenses or intensive care
• The need for life support or life-saving medical equipment
• Ongoing doctor and medical bills
• Long-term rehabilitation and physical therapy
• Loss of wages, including future income
• Loss of consortium
• In-home or facility-based nursing care
• Home modifications to accommodate a disability

How an Illinois medical malpractice attorney can help you

A lifetime of pain and suffering and mountains of medical bills can also result from medical malpractice.  If injuries were caused by the negligence or reckless conduct of a medical care provider, that party may be responsible for the damages and losses that ensue.

Brain injuries can also result from accidents, birth injuries, stroke, or the failure of a healthcare provider to diagnose a condition.  The Illinois brain injury lawyers of Phillips Law Offices fight for the compensation victims need to cope with lifelong brain injuries, such as loss of motor control, memory, or cognitive skills.
