If you’re exploring medical negligence lawyers in Chicago, the attorneys at Nolan Law Group understand the pain and devastation that individuals and families can experience when they have put their faith and lives in the hands of a health care professional or institution only to have that faith shattered by negligence or misconduct.

In addition to general medical negligence matters, two specific areas where you may need a Chicago medical malpractice lawyer to relate to include birth injuries and surgical injuries.
Birth Injuries
Approximately 5 percent of all children born in the United States have some form of birth defect or physical abnormality. While many of these birth defects are relatively minor and naturally caused, some are derived from medical malpractice and can cause lifelong disabilities and/or premature death. The Chicago medical negligence lawyers at Nolan Law Group are skilled trial lawyers who handle personal injury claims against doctors, nurses and hospitals for birth injuries resulting from negligence.
We have been successful in obtaining compensation for infants with injuries related to fetal distress and complications arising from negligent vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC), as well as other injuries due to medical negligence and error during labor and delivery.
Nolan Law Group has experience in and is currently evaluating cases involving:
- Fetal distress
- Failure to diagnose
- Brain injuries
- Abruption of placenta
- Surgical errors
Surgical Injuries
A doctor undergoes years of academic and medical training to prepare for a career as a surgeon. Likewise, a physician’s assistant and surgical technicians also receive extensive training before being allowed to assist with these delicate procedures.
However, despite having received this tremendous amount of training, mistakes can and do happen. Although surgery does involve some degree of risk, all too often, permanent injuries result from a medical professional’s negligence.
The hospital negligence lawyers at Nolan Law Group have successfully helped victims of medical malpractice and surgical negligence obtain fair and just compensation. In fact, our team of expert attorneys has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts on behalf of clients.
Nolan Law Group has experience in and is currently evaluating patients who have suffered surgical injuries such as:
