Medical Malpractice

Doctors and medical personnel provide a valuable service to our society, and often perform miracles to save a life or cure an illness. Sometimes, however, a medical professional makes a mistake through negligence, carelessness, or recklessness — and serious injuries result.

At the Chicago, Illinois, Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates, we will represent you in a medical malpractice suit against the doctor, hospital, laboratory, or nursing home that caused your injury. Our medical malpractice attorneys will fight to obtain the financial recovery you deserve for your injuries and for your pain and suffering.

Medical malpractice cases are often complex, involving medical terminology and various theories on what went wrong and who caused the injury. Medical malpractice suits can be brought not only against doctors, but against hospitals, nurses, insurance companies, and laboratory technicians. The standard for medical malpractice is whether the doctor acted reasonably compared to other doctors in the defendant's field of practice.

The most common medical malpractice case involves a doctor's failure to diagnose a condition or incorrect diagnosis. If the doctor does not catch the condition in time, serious health consequences can result. Another common medical malpractice suit results from injuries caused to a newborn because of the negligence of a doctor or nurse during delivery. If delivery is not done properly, the child can have brain damage or other injuries.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury because of the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of a medical professional, please do not hesitate to call the medical malpractice lawyers at the Law Offices of Steven H. Mevorah & Associates.
