Medical Malpractice Cases Handled by Patel Law, PC
Medical malpractice cases can involve complex medical records, questions about the applicable standard of care, medical causation, and special requirements under Illinois law. A poor medical outcome alone does not necessarily establish malpractice, so each potential claim must be evaluated based on its particular facts and medical evidence.
Potential medical malpractice claims may involve delayed diagnosis, failure to diagnose, surgical errors, medication errors, hospital negligence, birth injuries, improper medical procedures, and other negligent medical care.
If you or a family member suffered a serious injury that you believe resulted from medical negligence, Patel Law, PC can review the circumstances and discuss whether further investigation may be appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice Case Results
Does a previous medical malpractice settlement mean my case will have the same value?
No. Every medical malpractice case is different. The potential value of a claim depends on factors including the nature of the medical negligence, causation, severity of the injury, medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, permanent impairment, and other damages.
Does a bad medical outcome automatically mean medical malpractice occurred?
No. A complication or poor result does not by itself establish medical malpractice. A potential claim generally requires evidence that the applicable standard of care was not met and that the departure from that standard caused an injury.
