Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Claim?
According to Illinois law, a simple mistake made by your hospital or healthcare provider does not necessarily mean they are at fault for medical malpractice. To qualify as medical malpractice, your doctor or facility had to make an “avoidable” mistake by failing to provide the customary standard of care that patients would receive from a prudent healthcare provider. Unfortunately, stress and fatigue created by the pressure to treat and bill as many patients as possible too often leads to carelessness that results in serious injury or death.
If you are not sure whether your injury was caused by medical negligence, a personal injury attorney at Thomas W. Lynch & Associates can meet with you for a free consultation to discuss the facts of your case. Some examples of cases that typically meet the criteria for medical malpractice involve:

What Type of Compensation Are You Entitled to Receive?
Recovering a compensation award for your injuries will not restore you to full health. Neither will it bring your lost loved one back to life. However, financial compensation is the legal system’s remedy for ensuring justice is served in your case. Compensation can also help you or your loved ones recover from the financial hardship created by serious injury or death. In particular, a compensation award can help to:
- Restore lost wages
- Pay for past, current and future medical expenses
- Buy costly prescription drugs
- Obtain essential medical equipment like a wheelchair
- Modify your house to make mobility easier
- Purchase an accessible vehicle designed for your disability
- Arrange in-home nursing care
