You trusted a medical professional with your health. When that trust is violated through negligence, the consequences can be life-changing. You shouldn't face them alone.
These cases require expert witnesses, extensive medical record review, and a deep understanding of both legal and clinical standards of care. They take time, resources, and an attorney willing to go up against hospitals, physicians, and well-funded defense teams.
Lauren Rozich has the experience to build these cases and the willingness to see them through.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, and that failure causes injury or death. Common examples include:
In every medical malpractice case, the central issue is whether the provider acted as a reasonably competent professional in their field would have under the same circumstances. This requires testimony from qualified medical experts who can explain, in concrete terms, where and how the standard was breached.
Lauren works with the right experts to build that case clearly and credibly.
Illinois law requires an affidavit of merit — a written statement from a healthcare professional in the same field confirming that your case has a reasonable basis — to be filed with the complaint. The statute of limitations is generally two years from when you knew or should have known about the injury, with an outer limit of four years from the date of the negligent act.
These rules are technical and unforgiving. Getting them right requires an attorney who knows the terrain.
Medical malpractice victims can pursue compensation for:
Illinois caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases (pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of normal life) at $500,000 against physicians and $1,000,000 against hospitals. Economic damages — medical bills, lost wages — are not capped.
