Determining Whether You Have a Medical Malpractice Claim
In Illinois, the law deems it medical malpractice when a health care professional or facility deviates from the standard of acceptable care in their community when treating a patient and causes serious injury or death.

Common mistakes that may constitute medical malpractice include:
- Surgical errors that result in paralysis or other injuries
- Failure to get informed consent from a patient before surgery or treatment
- Failure to explain the risks associated with a surgery or medication
- Performing unnecessary surgery
- Errors when administering anesthesia
- Misreading an x-ray
- Not taking precautions to avoid exposing patients to deadly infections
- Failure to diagnose cancer or other serious medical conditions
- Failure to order tests needed to detect a serious medical condition
