Super Lawyers Badge

In Chicago, for medical procedures, you have various local hospitals and healthcare facilities to choose from.

Chicago hospitals include:

  • University of Chicago Medical Center
  • Northshore University Health System – Metro Chicago
  • Loyola University Medical Center
  • Advocate Christ Medical Center
  • Rush University Medical Center

These institutions excel at medical procedures, ensuring tens of thousands of patients have flawless experiences yearly. However, doctors and hospitals are not perfect, and medical errors happen. When you undergo a health procedure, injury is the last thing you anticipate. It’s meant to support your well-being. When you suffer damages due to medical malpractice injury, you are entitled to compensation for your damages.

Chicago-area hospitals see numerous annual procedures. Despite provider diligence, mistakes occur in healthcare. If a medication or medical error harms you, avoid accusing your doctor or healthcare provider. It may complicate gathering evidence for your case.

Contact our medical malpractice attorney promptly after your injury. One of the experienced medical malpractice attorneys from Zayed Law Offices Personal Injury Attorneys is here to assist in finding your best path to recovery.

Zayed Law Offices Personal Injury Attorneys Has Decades of Combined Experience with Medical Malpractice Claims in Chicago, IL

Being injured in a medical procedure where a medical professional breaches a standard of care entitles you to damages. However, these damages do not automatically appear in your bank account.

Accurately measure injury costs; demand compensation from opposing party, usually an insurance company, to cover all expenses incurred. Starting can be hard, especially recovering from medical procedure injuries. Knowing where to begin is challenging in such situations.

Medical Malpractice Damages Include Lost Wages, Earnings, and Medical Costs

Suffering an injury in a medical procedure is the last thing you expect. Full compensation for your injury will cover the costs associated with treating the injury. This includes short-term medical bills like emergency room care, medications, and treatment following your injury.

The long-term costs that might emerge can include ongoing medical care for your injury, as well as medications, treatment, and rehabilitation. To determine how your injury will affect your health in the future and how that will influence your ability to work, you may require additional medical exams and consultations.

For earnings, the law entitles you to compensation for your lost earnings because of your medical malpractice injury that includes both short- and long-term coverage. In the short term, the law entitles you to damages that replace the income you missed out on while recovering from your injury. This might include missed wages and other work benefits like accrued sick or vacation time.

If your injury causes a lasting disability, you might never return to work or only to a job that pays less than you made before your injury. Your damages will equal the income that you lost from the time of your injury through your working life.

Calculating the damages that you deserve requires complex math and an understanding of how the legal system awards compensation. Zayed Law Offices Personal Injury Attorneys are here to apply their knowledge and experience to recover all of the damages you deserve.

Your Claim Is Not the Priority of the Insurance Company

When it comes time to collect compensation for the damages associated with your injury, the insurance company of the doctor and/or medical facility will probably pay you.

Doctors and hospitals, as we’ll discuss, carry medical malpractice insurance specifically to pay claimants like you who have suffered an injury due to medical mistakes.

Mistakes happen, and they are nothing personal. Doctors, like anyone else, are human, and mistakes can and do happen. If a doctor or hospital risked losing everything each time they operated due to the risk of injury, then they would never conduct any procedures. Medical malpractice insurance provides a cushion through which doctors and hospitals can operate without worrying about losing it all due to a medical malpractice mistake.

The insurance companies that pay out claims to injured parties do not work for the people who sustain injuries. They work for a profit. Medical malpractice insurance companies profit by maximizing insurance premiums collected from doctors and hospitals and minimizing costs that they pay out to claimants.

Zayed Law Offices Personal Injury Attorneys has decades of combined experience negotiating medical malpractice claims, but from the position of the injured.
