Illinois Medical Malpractice FAQs
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Not every medical mistake is malpractice. You must prove that the provider’s care fell below accepted standards and caused you harm. A legal and medical review can help determine this.
Is there a time limit to file a medical malpractice claim in Illinois?
Yes. In most cases, you must file within two years of discovering the injury — and no later than four years after the negligent act. Some exceptions may apply.
Will I need medical experts to support my claim?
Yes. Illinois law requires a written report from a qualified medical professional stating that your claim has merit. Michael will coordinate this process on your behalf.
How much does it cost to hire Michael J. Brennan?
There’s no fee to get started. You only pay if we win compensation for you.
