Medical negligence occurs when a medical provider (nurse, physician, hospital, etc.) fails to treat a patient in accordance with the standard of care applicable to their profession. The standard of care is what a reasonably careful medical provider (nurse, physician, hospital, etc.) would do in the same or similar circumstance as those occurring at the time the patient was injured.

Before a lawsuit can be filed in Illinois, a physician must review the medical records and sign a certificate affirming that medical negligence occurredThe only way to truly determine if someone has an actionable medical negligence case is to have it reviewed by a medical expert.

Generally, a lawsuit must be filed within 2 years of the date the medical negligence occurred. However, there are some exceptions that may allow a lawsuit to be filed up to a maximum of 4 years after the date of the medical negligence.
