Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice cases involve the negligent act or omission of a healthcare provider. Nearly any type of healthcare provider could be liable for medical malpractice, including their employers such as hospitals or practice groups.

How Do I Know If I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?
Unfortunately, most people are unable to know for certain whether or not they have a medical malpractice case. That’s because medical malpractice cases almost always require expert testimony to prove. But even with expert testimony, medical malpractice cases are still one of the most complicated types of personal injury cases because it involves complex legal and anatomic issues. What is further more difficult about medical malpractice cases are that a defense lawyer and insurance carrier will refuse to admit any fault, and often will even refuse to negotiate – sometimes just blaming a patient.
Therefore, victims and their families in Peoria, IL who are unsure whether they have a possible case should just schedule a free consultation with a medical malpractice lawyer. This is particularly true if a doctor refuses to speak with you after a procedure, the outcome was unexpected, or if a victim ends up in a worse condition than before the treatment. Since Illinois has a time limit on filing a medical malpractice case, known as the statute of limitations, victims and their families should not delay an assessment of their possible case.
