Medical Malpractice

There are few areas in the law as complex and difficult as medical malpractice claims.  Cases should only be pursued with the assistance of an experienced personal injury lawyer and only in cases where there are truly significant injuries.

Medical malpractice is medical negligence. The issue of whether there was negligence by the health care provider is determined by whether the provider deviated from the standard of care for the profession. A medical malpractice lawsuit must establish that the medical professional was negligent in giving care, and that this negligence caused your injury. These are difficult cases to prosecute successfully. There will always be a vigorous defense on the part of the medical professional.

Before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed in Illinois, there must be a statement by a qualified medical expert who has studied the medical records involved, stating that there is a meritorious basis for the case against the health care provider. That means a lot of research and inquiry must be done before the lawsuit is filed. The necessary medical expert may be out-of-state, giving rise to travel costs as well as the cost of their time and expertise. That expert must be willing to testify, which means more travel and time spent.

A great deal of detail must be investigated in order to build a valid medical malpractice case. That means that the sooner you consult with Barry Doyle about your injury, the sooner he can assess your situation, consult with his experts to determine if you might have a valid claim, and get started on gathering information and interviewing people.
