Recovering Damages for Medical Errors and Negligence
Doctors and other medical professionals are required to continue learning throughout their careers. Failure to learn new techniques and stay on top of new medical discoveries can result in preventable mistakes or negligent medical treatment.
If you have questions regarding medical errors and mistakes, or if you need financial compensation after a doctor's, nurse's, psychiatrist's or psychologist's malpractice, you need an experienced attorney with the knowledge to handle medical-related claims.
At the Law Offices of John B. Schwartz & Associates, in downtown Chicago, we have successfully handled thousands of personal injury cases, including numerous medical malpractice claims before the Illinois Supreme Court. A few of our successful results include:
- A $2.5 million settlement for a 55-year-old woman who suffered injuries during a plastic surgery involving an uncertified anesthesiologist.
- A settlement of approximately $25 million for anesthesia errors that caused a 20 year old to become comatose.
- A payout in excess of $7 million for an infant suffering brain damage due to the failure to supply vitamin K at birth to prevent bleeding.
