Complications of a Radiation Mistake in Illinois

If you have been the victim of a radiation mistake in Illinois, you may be entitled to file an Illinois medical malpractice claim. If medical negligence results in injuries, the medical professional who is responsible can be held liable.

A Chicago medical malpractice attorney can determine what your legal options are and whether you have a valid Illinois medical malpractice claim worth pursuing.

A radiation mistake can result in a number of complications including: 

• burns;
• difficulty swallowing;
• loss/decay of teeth;
• loss of taste;
• tongue swelling;
• destruction of jaw;
• damaged salivary glands;
• damaged cells;
• bone death;
• vision/hearing problems;

• death. 

Treatment for these complications can be just as devastating and leave an individual permanently disabled or disfigured. It can result in a loss of time at work, huge medical expenses, emotional distress, unbearable pain and suffering, and other physical and psychological injuries.

These damages may be recoverable through an Illinois medical malpractice claim if you were the victim of medical negligence.

When a radiation mistake leads to serious injuries, you should immediately consult with a Chicago medical malpractice attorney who will work hard to ensure your legal rights are protected.
