Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Illinois?
In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date you discovered or should have discovered the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. However, no claim can be filed more than four years after the negligent act occurred, except in rare cases involving minors or fraudulent concealment.
What damages can I recover in a Pekin medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Illinois law caps non-economic damages at $500,000 against individual doctors and $1,000,000 against hospitals or other healthcare institutions.
How do I know if I have a valid medical malpractice claim?
A valid claim requires proof that a healthcare provider breached the standard of care and that this breach directly caused your injury. You will need a medical expert to review your case and testify about the negligence. A Pekin lawyer can help evaluate whether your situation meets these legal standards.
