Advocating for Victims of Medical Negligence in Rockford, Illinois
When you place your trust in a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider, you expect competent and compassionate care. Unfortunately, medical mistakes can cause serious injuries, lasting trauma, or even wrongful death. The Finn Law Firm, based in Chicago and serving clients in Rockford, IL, represents victims of medical malpractice and their families across Northern Illinois.
Our attorneys are dedicated to holding negligent healthcare professionals and institutions accountable. With years of experience in complex personal injury and malpractice claims, we have the knowledge and resources to help victims recover fair compensation for their losses.
Understanding Medical Malpractice in Illinois
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to a patient.
Common Examples of Medical Malpractice
- Surgical errors – Wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, or anesthesia mistakes
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis – Failure to identify conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or infection
- Medication errors – Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or drug interactions
- Birth injuries – Trauma or oxygen deprivation during labor or delivery
- Hospital negligence – Poor sanitation, undertrained staff, or inadequate supervision
If you suspect malpractice, it’s essential to act quickly. Illinois law imposes strict time limits (known as statutes of limitations) on filing claims, so early investigation is critical.
