Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Illinois

Re: hospital accountable

It depends. In Illinois to have a valid case for medical malpractice, it is necessary to have the entire medical records reviewed by an expert so as to find out whether there was a failure to follow the standard of care for the type of the procedure performed. You may or may not have case. You must obtain all your medical records and the entire chart, the we'll have to have it all reviewed. Once we have an opinion that a malpractice has occurred then you have a case.

If you have more questions, contact Angela, my assistant. I'll be more than happy to talk to you further.

I hope this helps,

Re: hospital accountable

Please accept my condolences. This sounds like a horrible tragedy that should have been avoided. A patient should not go into a hospital for a biopsey and die from bleeding!

However a detailed answer to your question is not routine. In fact, every medical malpractice case is unique. Many factors are involved, including but not limited to the age of the victim, the stage of the cancer whether there was informed consent and exactly what happened in that hospital. All records would need to be obtained and forwarded to an attorney to determine whether the doctor(s) and hospital provided your relative or friend with the standard of care required for that procedure. Additionally, an in-person examination of the original records must be performed to confirm whether there were any changes made to the medical records. Most attorneys experienced in medical malpractice can determine whether there was malpractice. However, Illinois law requires that an attorney forward the medical records to a consultant. If the consultant affirms that malpractice has occurred, an affidavit is signed and the case can proceed to court.

I hope that my explanation helps you and your family. Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss this further. Again, please accept my condolences.
