Compassionate Legal Help for Medical Malpractice Victims 

When you trust a healthcare provider with your well-being, you expect competent, compassionate care. Unfortunately, medical errors happen more often than many realize, sometimes with tragic consequences. Studies show that medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and Illinois sees its share of these avoidable tragedies. At Turner Law Group, we believe in holding negligent healthcare providers accountable and helping victims secure the compensation they need to rebuild their lives.

The Reality of Medical Malpractice in Illinois

Medical malpractice claims in Illinois constitute a significant portion of personal injury cases each year. Types of errors frequently leading to these claims include surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, delayed treatment, and medication errors. For instance, failure to diagnose conditions like cancer in time for effective treatment or surgical errors that result in permanent injury are common examples. Geneva residents rely on local hospitals and clinics for care, but mistakes can happen, even at trusted facilities. When they do, Geneva medical malpractice attorneys are here to fight for justice on your behalf.

Common medical malpractice scenarios include: 

  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, such as performing the procedure on the wrong site or leaving medical tools inside the body, can lead to severe, lasting harm.
  • Misdiagnoses or Delayed Diagnoses: Failure to correctly identify conditions can delay life-saving treatments. Misdiagnosing strokes, heart conditions, or cancers is particularly devastating.
  • Medication Errors: Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or dangerous drug interactions can cause significant injury or death.
  • Birth Injuries: Improper medical care during labor and delivery can lead to lifelong challenges for newborns and mothers alike.

It may qualify as medical malpractice if you’ve experienced any of these or feel something wasn’t right with your care.

FAQs

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What qualifies as a personal injury?

    A personal injury generally refers to any bodily injury sustained in an accident, from minor bruises to severe brain trauma. The most common personal injury claims arise from harm sustained from traffic wrecks, slip and fall accidents, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and medical malpractice.

  • What is the personal injury statute of limitations in Illinois?

    Under state law, the statute of limitations (or deadline) for most personal injury claims in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. However, for claims against governmental agencies, there are special limitation periods that may be as short as a year. You should always consult with an attorney on what particular limitations period might apply to your claim. You should seek legal help immediately, as a delay may be fatal to your claim. Unless you have a special exception, your claim will be thrown out if you attempt to file after the limitations period has passed.


    Because every personal injury claim is different, it is difficult to determine an average settlement. A victim who lost a limb will likely need to receive more in medical expenses than someone who broke an arm, for instance. Although personal injury claims tend to average anywhere between $3000 to $75,000—an extremely broad range—there may be significant economic and noneconomic factors in your individual case that may indicate that your particular claim would be valued at a significantly higher figure at trial in front of a jury. An attorney can help you estimate your unique losses based on the facts of your case. The knowledge of an attorney experienced in jury verdict value is extremely important. You should be entitled to make up for your specific losses at the very least.
     

  • What evidence is needed for a personal injury claim?

    Necessary evidence can vary case by case depending on the specifics of your situation. However, one of the most helpful pieces of evidence is your medical records. If you can prove that you sought medical attention for a serious injury after an accident, you are more likely to receive compensation to cover the expenses associated with said injury. Other helpful evidence includes any photographs of the accident scene, accident reports, witness statements, insurance forms, receipts, and any other physical evidence related to the injury.
