In Chicago, nearly 5,000 patients get hurt each year when doctors don’t give needed treatment. At Conboy Law, our Chicago failure to treat attorneys helps folks when healthcare providers drop the ball. Failure to treat happens when doctors find a medical condition but don’t fix it, leaving you with health problems that good care could have stopped.
These medical mistakes can cause brain injuries or even death. Read on to learn about treatment failures, how we prove medical malpractice claims, what money you might get, and how our medical malpractice lawyers can help you.
Many of our medical malpractice attorneys once worked in Chicago hospitals. This gives us an inside scoop on how these medical facilities work and where patient care breaks down. We spot signs of negligence that other law firms miss.
Our track record demonstrates our experience in medical malpractice cases. We have successfully represented clients whose documented medical symptoms were not properly addressed by their physicians. Our firm has also obtained significant recoveries for families who have lost loved ones due to alleged emergency room errors where critical symptoms were reportedly overlooked. These cases reflect our commitment to advocating for patients and families affected by potential medical negligence.
We believe you deserve better than poor care from negligent doctors. When medical professionals fail in their duty of care, we hold them responsible for their medical negligence. Don’t let hospitals hide their medical mistakes – let our legal team check your medical records and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
Failure to treat happens when doctors ignore clear medical needs. Unlike misdiagnosis, the issue isn’t what they found – it’s what they didn’t do about it. Here’s what medical malpractice law says about these failures.
Illinois healthcare laws count both wrong actions and harmful inactions as medical malpractice. When health care providers don’t give treatment that meets standards of care, they break their duty to patients. Any good doctor would have given proper care in the same spot.
These cases focus on what wasn’t done that should have been. Our experienced attorneys find these care gaps that others miss.
In treatment failures, the doctor found the problem but didn’t act. This makes these medical malpractice claims often easier to win than wrong diagnosis cases because the medical records clearly show the healthcare professional knew about the medical condition but did nothing.
For example, when test results showing cancer go untreated or when nursing staff note signs of infection but no medicine is ordered, we can build a strong medical malpractice lawsuit.
We’ve helped people with spinal cord injuries when symptoms weren’t taken seriously and others who got sick after being sent home despite showing early signs of infection. Good medical treatment could have stopped these patient injuries.
To win your medical malpractice claim, our legal team must show:
We work with medical experts who explain what proper care looks like in your case. These expert witnesses check hospital quality standards and medical board rules to show what any good doctor would have done. We also find violations of healthcare facility policies that show substandard care.
Our medical malpractice attorneys look through all your medical records, making a timeline of when symptoms showed up, what providers wrote in the medical reports, and what actions weren’t taken. We often find notes showing healthcare professionals knew about problems but did nothing. Medical experts then explain how proper treatment would have helped you.
We show the direct link between the lack of proper medical care and your injuries by tracking how your medical condition got worse due to negligent actions by healthcare professionals. This makes the connection between poor care and your suffering clear in legal proceedings.
When medical practitioners fail to provide proper care, you may get:
For serious cases with catastrophic injuries, we track all your financial losses. We also calculate non-economic damages like physical pain and emotional pain to ensure you get fair compensation for all harm caused by negligent healthcare providers.
In Illinois, you have a statute of limitations of two years to file your medical malpractice lawsuit. This deadline is strict, so calling a medical malpractice lawyer quickly is key. The statute of repose may give you more time if your injuries weren’t obvious right away.
Illinois law needs a statement from a qualified health professional saying your case has merit. Finding the right expert witness is important – they must work in the same field as the doctor who hurt you. They explain how the failure to meet medical standards caused your preventable injury.
Our Chicago failure to treat attorneys use proven steps to build your case:
By carefully preparing every part of your case, we boost your chances for monetary compensation that truly matches the severity of the injuries you suffered.
Medical providers often claim patients gave informed consent and knew the risks. We stress that signing forms doesn’t let doctors give poor care – agreeing to treatment doesn’t mean accepting medical negligence.
Another defense blames your injuries on existing health conditions. We counter by showing how proper medical care would have helped you despite any other health issues you had.
You have two years from when you found out about the medical negligence. For kids, this time extends until they turn 22. Missing this deadline means losing your right to sue, so call us soon.
Family members can file a wrongful death claim seeking money for funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional impact of fatal injuries. Different rules may apply, so getting legal advice quickly is important.
We work on a contingency fee basis – you pay no attorney fees unless we win compensation for you. This means everyone can afford top legal help for medical malpractice claims.
