Illinois Health Care Provider Errors

Every time we obtain medical care, we put our faith in the skills and competence of doctors, nurses, hospital staff and other medical workers. Unfortunately health care providers can and do make mistakes. It’s estimated that medical errors are to blame for the deaths of up to 200,000 patients in the U.S. every year, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. In fact, medical negligence is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer, and is responsible for an untold number of preventable injuries and illnesses.

Health care provider errors may be a common occurrence, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Medical providers whose negligence leads to major injuries should be held accountable for their mistakes. If you have endured an injury or the injury or death of a loved one because of medical negligence, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Types of Health Care Provider Errors

Some of the most common medical mistakes include, but are not limited to:

  • Hospital and surgical errors
  • Physician error
  • Nursing error
  • EMT or emergency room error
  • Pharmaceutical or prescription error
  • Anesthesia error
  • Diagnosis error
  • Misdiagnosis
  • Birth injuries

At Phillips Law Offices, we have been successfully assisting people affected by serious medical errors for more than 65 years. We understand the enormous toll that medical errors take on patients and their families. It’s difficult enough dealing with medical treatment and hospital stays when everything goes according to plan. When mistakes are made, however, routine medical care can turn into an expensive and overwhelming nightmare. Medical malpractice victims and their loved ones are frequently left with the burden of unmanageable medical bills, financial difficulty due to lost wages, and the devastating effects of injury, disability, pain, and suffering.

Let us help protect your rights

When health care provider mistakes fall below the standard of care, injured people and their families deserve compensation for their expenses and suffering. Yet many cases of medical negligence never result in fair recovery, either because personal injury victims and their families fail to file medical malpractice claims or because self-serving insurance companies find ways to deny liability or minimize damages. Medical malpractice cases are uniquely complex. Our Illinois medical malpractice lawyers have years of experience investigating, litigating and winning complicated medical injury cases to obtain maximum compensation for our clients.

When you or someone you love has been seriously injured as the consequence of a medical error, it’s important to understand your legal options.
