Illinois Medical Malpractice Attorney
Every year an estimated 200,000 patients die from substandard medical care. It is not surprising that every day numerous medical malpractice suits are filed in the United States. In a recent study, it was found that in Illinois alone, an estimated 8,151 medical malpractice suits were filed against physicians. This number is about 4.4% of the total suits filed against doctors in the United States. 164 suits were filed against nurses, which is about 3.7% of the total suits filed against nurses in the United States. Out of the total number of suits filed against dentists, 3.9% of these suits were filed in Illinois. Reportedly, payments were made by physicians amounting to $499,197 in mean malpractice compensations and $362,000 in median malpractice compensations. These cases arise from injuries, damages, losses that a person or his or her family member suffered.
In Illinois however, malpractice lawyers are fighting for the recognition of the suffering and pain of a patient as a cause of action. An Illinois medical malpractice attorney could accept a case and assist a client to file a suit based on his or her client’s pain or suffering caused by a medical practitioner’s negligence, substandard care, or just lack of empathy. Illinois lawyers are insisting that it is the duty of a doctor to ensure that he or she could limit or eliminate the patient’s pain. A medical malpractice attorney needs to prove his or her client pain to the jury. The task is not easy but this is the challenge that Illinois lawyers face.
