It is not uncommon for individuals to trust the men and women who provide them with medical care. Throughout Illinois, residents seek out doctors and other medical care providers who they like and with whom they can work to protect their health. Most people have the option of changing doctors if they are unsatisfied with the care they receive, and therefore it is not often the case that individuals are tied to providers that they do not trust.
However, even when a person has confidence in their doctor, problems can arise. Whether their doctor fails to diagnose their serious condition, commits a medical mistake while undertaking a procedure, or erroneously offers them a treatment they do not need, a person can suffer serious harm when medical professionals commit malpractice.
