What Qualifies As Medical Malpractice In Aurora?

Not every bad medical outcome qualifies as malpractice – sometimes, inevitable complications happen despite proper care. The key difference lies in whether negligence occurred.

For a valid medical malpractice claim in Illinois, your case must have these four essential elements:

• Duty: First, we must prove that you and the health care provider had an established professional relationship.
• Breach of duty: Next, we need to demonstrate that the healthcare provider failed to provide care that meets accepted medical standards in their field.
• Causation: The negligence must have directly caused your injury or worsened your condition.
• Damages: We must show that the injury resulted in specific losses. These may include the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, disability and physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Many patients feel that something went wrong with their care but are unsure if they have a claim at all. Our attorneys are here to review your situation and provide the guidance you need.

Common Types Of Medical Negligence We Handle

Medical negligence can appear in many forms. While each case presents unique circumstances, we regularly stand for patients harmed by the following types of medical errors:

• Misdiagnosis: When a provider fails to identify an illness correctly or diagnoses the wrong condition, leading to harmful delays in proper treatment
• Birth injuries: When preventable harm to an infant or mother occurs during pregnancy, labor or delivery due to a medical provider’s mistake
• Medication errors: When a doctor or pharmacist prescribes the wrong medication or the incorrect dosage or administers a drug improperly, causing harm to the patient
• Failure to treat: When a provider correctly diagnoses a condition but does not provide timely and proper medical care, causing the patient’s health to worsen
• Premature discharge: When a hospital releases a patient before they are medically stable, leading to a serious relapse or new injury at home

We understand how these medical mistakes can transform your life in an instant. If you believe any type of medical error caused your injury, do not hesitate to discuss your situation with us.

What Damages Can I Recover In An Aurora Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

The compensation you can seek under Illinois law is typically divided into several categories. These are:

• Economic damages: These are the tangible financial costs you incurred because of the injury. These cover past and future medical bills, lost wages and even costs for home modifications or adaptive equipment.
• Noneconomic damages: These address the intangible but very real suffering you have endured, such as emotional distress and loss of enjoyment in activities.
• Wrongful death: If medical negligence resulted in the death of your loved one, we can help your family pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship and the grief and suffering the family experiences.

Our team works with medical and economic experts to accurately calculate the full value of your claim, ensuring we pursue the compensation you need and deserve.
