Malpractice is not limited to a specific specialty or area of focus. Any type of medical professional could make decisions that result in substandard care for their patients.

Protecting Your Rights in Lake County and DuPage County

Under Illinois law, medical professionals have a duty to their patients to adhere to the appropriate standard of care for their area of practice. This means that they must provide the same level of care that the average doctor with similar training and experience would provide under the same circumstances. Proving that a doctor was negligent generally requires the testimony of expert witnesses, such as other doctors and medical professionals. At Newland & Newland, LLP, we maintain a large network of experts, including board-certified physician specialists whose input can help us show that your doctor did not comply with the appropriate standard of care.

Our attorneys also understand that physicians' groups, hospitals, and malpractice insurance carriers can be very difficult to work with when malpractice has been alleged. We are not afraid of large health care conglomerates or their insurance companies, and we will not be intimidated into backing down. We will continue to fight on your behalf, both at the negotiating table and inside the courtroom, until you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
