Chicago Surgeon Malpractice Lawyers
Experienced Law Firm for Victims of Surgical Errors
Undergoing surgery is a significant event under almost any circumstances, and most people are aware that even a surgical procedure described as minor or routine has known risks.
When a surgical procedure goes badly wrong, however, the reason is often an error that has nothing to do with those known risks. Please contact our Naperville surgical error attorneys to discuss any suspected mistake before, during or after surgery, and its impact on you.
Our respected Chicago metro legal team has the insight, access to expert resources and sheer determination to assess what happened to you or a family member in the operating room. If a doctor or other medical professional failed to follow applicable standards of care and you emerged as a victim, we will aggressively pursue your right to financial compensation.
Thorough Investigation Into Causes of Surgical Injury or Wrongful Death
We are prepared to pursue valid claims for surgeon malpractice, hospital negligence, or other forms of harmful medical conduct and poor performance. Surgical errors that may justify a medical malpractice claim or lawsuit come in many forms, including:
- Unintended perforation or other damage to organs and blood vessels
- Anesthesia errors
- Operation on the wrong organ or limb, due to misreading of scans or x-rays or a serious oversight by a rushed or distracted surgeon
- Post-operative infections or other avoidable complications resulting from unsterile conditions, leaving instruments or other objects in the body cavity, or other violations of the standard of care
It can be an imposing challenge to distinguish between "normal complications" of surgery and surgical errors that should have been prevented. Our Naperville and Chicago surgical error attorneys know how to investigate, along with experts to call upon, to overcome that challenge. We negotiate based on solid evidence and argument, and we take our cases to trial when no fair settlement is offered.
High Standards for Our Own Professionalism and Performance
We never pursue frivolous claims against medical professionals. Our own professional standards mean we take on valid cases we believe in and intend to win. From Aurora and Addison to Lombard, Joliet to Batavia and Elgin and other Illinois communities, we have many past clients who can attest to our determined effort and focus on meaningful results that benefit injured individuals and grieving families.
Please contact us today to discuss your legal options for obtaining compensation after a surgical error.
