Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Medical Negligence Claims

At Jeffrey M. Goldberg Law Offices, we understand the devastating emotional and financial effects that medical malpractice has on individuals and families.  Our Milwaukee and Chicago medical malpractice attorneys  can balance the scales of justice after they have been tipped against you by medical and insurance company lobbyists. We can help you receive the much-needed compensation you deserve.

In fact our medical malpractice law firm in Chicago handles various types of medical negligence claims in Illinois, Wisconsin and throughout the United States, including cases that involve:

  • Birth trauma
  • Failure to diagnose
  • Failure to treat
  • Surgical errors
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Nursing errors
  • Hospital negligence
  • Medication errors

The medical malpractice attorneys at our firm in Chicago led the charge towards an Illinois Supreme Court ruling in February 2010 regarding medical malpractice caps being declared unconstitutional. This ruling stems from the case of a 4-year-old who sustained injuries at birth, that resulted in her having cerebral palsy.

Winning the Battle of Medical Experts

Medical negligence claims almost always require expert medical testimony. Because of that, winning or losing often boils down to whether or not you can develop strong medical arguments supporting your own position. Each Chicago medical malpractice attorney at our law firm knows how to choose the right experts and effectively cross-examine defense witnesses to defeat their medical arguments.

In addition, the medical malpractice attorneys at our firm make extensive use of the full medical library in our main Chicago office. We employ a full-time registered nurse on our staff. We have personally worked with top experts in various medical disciplines in numerous states. Our lawyers take great pride in understanding the medical aspects of their clients' cases.

Case Results

An expectant mother presented at her hospital in Chicago for the delivery of her first child. Her physician was not present and the hospital's "house doctor", who had not been formally trained in obstetrics, was managing the labor with attending nurses. By the time the personal physician arrived the fetus had suffered a significant lack of oxygen and was delivered in a very depressed state. The baby developed cerebral palsy. On the eve of trial, the hospital and other defendants offered a global settlement with a present cash value in excess of $13,000,000.00 including some portions in cash and future payments that will support the child for life.
