If you have been injured due to medical malpractice, you need trial lawyers who have dedicated their careers to representing victims of negligent medical care. At HM&M, we have a long history of getting extraordinary results for our clients.
Hospitals, doctors and other health care providers have a duty to use reasonable care in providing medical services. When they do not it is legal negligence, also known as medical malpractice, and innocent patients can suffer, both economically and emotionally.
Bringing a lawsuit against a doctor or a hospital does not mean you are against the medical profession, it means that you need help with the economic and personal losses created by their negligence. The law entitles you to fair compensation when your life has been changed by negligent medical care.
HM&M pursues cases against all types of health care providers who make life-changing mistakes, including doctors, nurses, therapists, hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, dialysis centers and nursing homes. Contact us today for assistance with all types of malpractice cases.
Record setting 2024 jury verdict against OSF HealthCare System on behalf of 72-year-old man with atrial fibrillation [AFib] who suffered a catastrophic stroke because Cardiologists and Advanced Practice Nurses failed to monitor the patient’s INR levels or increase his dose of the anticoagulant medication Coumadin to prevent cardioembolic stroke.
Settlement in 2023 for a child with a brain injury, cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia who was injured at birth. The child’s mother was 36 weeks pregnant and went to a Chicago-area hospital’s emergency room in 2016 with headache, shortness of breath and protein in her urine, which are signs and symptoms of preeclampsia. Hospital emergency department personnel failed to transfer the mother to the labor and delivery unit for continuous electronic fetal monitoring and expeditious delivery of the baby, as required by the standard of care for the treatment of preeclampsia. Instead, hospital personnel transferred the mother to the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. When the attending obstetrician delivered the child by cesarean section approximately ten hours after the mother’s arrival at the hospital, the child was lifeless and had no pulse due to prolonged loss of oxygen, with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, APGAR scores of 0/0/0/0, and requiring twenty-five minutes of resuscitation.
