Medical Malpractice Lawyers in Chicago

47 medical malpractice attorneys practise in Chicago, one of the deepest concentrations of this specialism in the country — unsurprising given the number of teaching hospitals and health systems in the metropolitan area.

Illinois requires a malpractice complaint to be accompanied by an affidavit and a written report from a qualified health professional confirming the claim has merit, so a Chicago firm will have your records reviewed by a physician before it agrees to file. That review takes weeks; start it early.

Cases are heard in the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County. Ask how many malpractice trials the firm has run, whether it funds expert costs itself, and which specialists it works with.
