What Is Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death?
In Illinois, medical malpractice is when a healthcare provider does not follow the accepted standard of care. In wrongful death cases, that failure directly causes injury or death. A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members to recover compensation. This may include medical bills, funeral costs, loss of income, and the emotional impact of losing a loved one.
