How to be Compensated for Illinois Medical Malpractice

Full and Fair Compensation for Victims of Surgical Errors

A man goes into surgery to have a herniated disk removed and the surgeon removes the wrong disk. A woman goes into surgery to remove a breast with breast cancer in it and the surgeon removes the opposite breast. These are the types of clear and blatant mistakes that medical professionals need to be held accountable for. At The Fisk & Monteleone Law Firm, our lawyers take action against negligent surgeons and other medical professionals.

The Line Between a Mistake and a Bad Result

Not all medical procedures yield the expected result. There are always risks involved, even if the doctor performs his or her duty perfectly. In order to pursue a medical malpractice claim, there needs to be evidence of more than just a bad result. There has to be evidence that the doctor failed to follow proper procedures and protocols to the detriment of the patient.

With more than 20 years of experience on our side, we have handled many Illinois medical malpractice claims involving surgical errors. These are cases in which the surgeon performed surgery on the wrong part of the body, sometimes referred to as wrong site surgery. These are cases in which the surgeon removed the wrong body part. These are cases in which the surgeon left a surgical implement inside the patient.

Patients are often left requiring a great deal of additional medical treatment to repair the damage, if the damage is repairable. We are committed to getting you compensation for all medical bills, as well as for pain and suffering and lost wages.
