Reliable Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Chicago

Shea Law Group Has Been a Family Owned Practice Since 1997

Medical professionals and hospitals have been held to standards of care and ethical codes for centuries. Even so, medical malpractice continues to be a growing concern in modern times. In the United States, it ranks as the third leading cause of death, surpassing stroke, accidents, and Alzheimer’s disease.

If you’re in the Chicago area and looking for a medical malpractice attorney, Shea Law Group can provide the support and expertise you need. We understand the trauma, suffering, and long-term repercussions that come with medical errors, and we’re committed to fighting for justice on your behalf.

Medical negligence can lead to a massive financial burden, with medical bills, lost wages, and follow-up care expenses being just the beginning. Our dedicated attorneys have the knowledge and compassion to help you through the legal process and achieve the maximum compensation available for your situation.

The Devastating Impact of Medical Negligence

When a doctor or nurse fails to meet the standards set by their profession, it can have severe effects on the patient’s trust and confidence in medical professionals. While most people believe that their medical providers are highly trained and consistently do their best for their patients, this is, unfortunately, not always the case.

Medical negligence can take many forms, from incorrect procedures to delayed diagnoses, and can lead to personal injury or even death. In addition to physical harm, patients may experience emotional distress and financial hardship. Shea Law Group is committed to holding careless medical professionals accountable for their behavior, and helping their clients achieve justice, financial stability and peace of mind.

Identifying Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice cases can be difficult to recognize, and patients may not realize they have been victimized until much later. To determine whether medical malpractice has occurred, three criteria must be met:

Standard of Care: Medical professionals are held to a standard of care, indicating the level of care that a reasonable person would expect under similar circumstances. Failure to meet this standard may be a sign of medical malpractice.

Injury or Death: The injury or death must be caused by medical negligence or malpractice. It must be proven that the injury or death was directly related to an act of malpractice.

Significant Harm: The injury must have caused significant harm, including pain and suffering, financial hardship, and other related factors.

Common Injuries Sustained Due to Medical Malpractice

While there are many types of injuries that can be caused by negligence on the part of a medical professional, infections due to improper sterilization or contamination during surgery, birth injuries, and misdiagnosis or delayed diagnoses are seen quite often. Birth injuries can be particularly devastating to both the child and their parents, and are often catastrophic, including traumatic brain injuries and HIE (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy).

Proving Medical Malpractice

Proving medical malpractice can be challenging, but it is critical to the success of your medical malpractice lawsuit. To prove your case, you must demonstrate that:

  • There was a doctor-patient relationship, and the medical practitioner was hired for evaluation or treatment.

  • The medical professional was negligent, violating their duty of care.

  • The negligence directly caused an injury or death, with evidence showing that the injury or death was more likely than not caused by the medical professional’s treatment.
