Medical malpractice refers to injuries as the result of professional misconduct or unreasonable care by a health care provider. It describes any treatment, lack of treatment, or other departure from accepted standards of health care that results in harm to the patient.

In Cook County, medical malpractice lawsuits are almost always filed at the Daley Center in Chicago. This is the main Cook County Courthouse. You will find that most, but not all, of the top medical malpractice lawyers are in Chicago, usually with offices near the Daley Center.

While many attorneys profess to be Chicago medical malpractice lawyers, we feel that there are an exclusive few law firms that are the best attorneys for these cases. Medical malpractice lawsuits in Cook County are usually expensive and can take months to investigate and years to complete. The more successful firms have both the manpower to handle these cases as well as the money to advance all of the costs involved with the case.

As medical negligence cases usually take a long time, most of the lawyers we know are only able to investigate cases where significant damages have occurred. This usually means that there is a long term permanent injury (such as a loss of a limb, brain damage or paralysis), substantial medical treatment and loss of work that would not have otherwise occurred or wrongful death.
