Law Firm Advises Swift Response To Medical Malpractice Cases In Chicago, Illinois

In the United States, some of the most common causes of death are strokes, Alzheimer’s, chronic lower respiratory diseases, and medical errors. Of these, medical errors are the leading cause of death. According to a study performed in 2016, medical errors cause the third highest number of deaths after heart disease and cancer. The number of deaths associated with medical malpractice ranges between 250,000 to 440,000 every year. With this being the case, it is important to ensure that one receives proper care from qualified physicians, as the smallest of errors can have grave consequences.

Medical malpractice occurs when a physician, medical professional, or facility breaches the ‘standard of care’ when treating a patient, resulting in discomfort, serious injury, or even death. The standard of care is the generally accepted set of standards and practices that other medical professionals strive to maintain when treating a similar patient. There are many variables to consider but the standard of care is usually clearly defined, and failure to uphold it leads to what is known as medical negligence.

Treatment, for the purposes of medical malpractice in Illinois, constitutes any of a number of situations. For instance, a misdiagnosis may be considered treatment in a medical malpractice case. Prescribing the wrong medicine or not performing a certain procedure can also be considered, as is anything that could potentially result in a patient being injured.

This negligence can and does lead to hardships, personal injury, or even death. Where one feels they have been inadequately treated or that their safety has been compromised, it is important to speak to an attorney immediately. This allows the injured party to quickly discover whether they have a medical negligence or medical malpractice claim.

A medical malpractice claim is often very personal. Victims and their families are left, not only to deal with the physical repercussions of the medical error, but also the legal implications. Those left behind after the passing of a victim of medical malpractice may feel heartbroken and remain with many questions that remain unanswered by the negligent party.

The Law Offices of Parente & Norem, P.C. employs a number of attorneys with the necessary knowledge and experience to help clients get the answers they are looking for as well as the compensation they are legally entitled to. Using subpoenas, depositions, and medical experts, the firm is fully capable of getting compensation for a client in any situation.

Often, patients are asked to sign waivers before receiving treatment. Notably, however, a waiver does not grant the practitioner immunity from their legal culpability. “Medical waivers do not provide blanket immunity to physicians and caregivers,” says Parente & Norem. “Furthermore, medical waivers do not mean that you consented to medical negligence. Our lawyers will evaluate all of the facts of your case to help you determine if medical negligence has occurred, and if you have a valid claim.”

The firm has a number of attorneys on hand at all times to discuss a client’s case in detail during a free consultation. Acting quickly is of great importance in malpractice claims, and it is for this reason that clients are encouraged to contact an attorney as soon as possible.

The firm has received a number of positive reviews from clients. Butch Lefebvre, a satisfied client, states, “During my workers’ comp. case, I contacted Matt Coleman. He ensured me everything will be okay. During the process, he was always available and always took the time to explain to me what was going on. Without his help, I wouldn’t have gotten the settlement I did. Even as of today, Matt still calls to check up on me. I would highly recommend him and his firm.”

“I came to Parente & Norem following an injury on the job,” says another reviewer. “They immediately took charge of my workers’ compensation case to ensure that I was receiving all the benefits I was entitled to. Matt was very knowledgeable, and made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. Additionally, he put in the extra effort to ensure that my case was settled in a timely, efficient manner, and that I was compensated fairly.”
