Medical Malpractice & Nursing Home: common questions
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Illinois?
Generally two years from when you knew or reasonably should have known of the injury and that it may have been wrongfully caused, but no more than four years after the act or omission (735 ILCS 5/13-212). Different rules can apply to minors.
What is required to file a medical malpractice case in Illinois?
Illinois requires an affidavit and a written report from a qualified health professional stating that there is a reasonable and meritorious basis for the claim (735 ILCS 5/2-622). An experienced attorney obtains this expert review before or shortly after filing.
What are signs of nursing home neglect?
Warning signs include new or worsening bedsores (pressure injuries), unexplained falls or fractures, sudden weight loss or dehydration, poor hygiene, medication errors and unexplained changes in mood. The Illinois Nursing Home Care Act gives residents specific rights and remedies when they are neglected or abused.
