Medical malpractice results when a medical professional's act or omission results in a patient’s injury or death. Even with the top medical care and advances in technology, mistakes by physicians and health care facilities do happen. Doctors, other medical professionals, hospitals, government-run health care facilities or a combination thereof can be held accountable for their actions in such with the help of an experienced medical malpractice attorney. Due to the concentrated locations of medical care facilities across Central Illinois such as Champaign, Danville, and Decatur, there are many medical negligence cases in Central Illinois. Holder Law Group also knows the local practices, policies, and procedures that can lead to medical negligence in Champaign-Urbana and Illinois.

Four elements have to be proven in order for a patient to recover against a healthcare provider.
The first element is proving that the healthcare provider owed a duty to the injured person established by showing a provider-patient relationship. The second requirement is to show the healthcare provider acted negligently. This is proven by evidence that the healthcare provider did not exercise the appropriate care in providing treatment. Expert medical testimony is used to prove negligence.
The third requirement is to demonstrate the patient sustained substantial injuries, which include but are not limited medical bills, physical injuries, pain and suffering, future injuries, loss to loved ones, loss of life expectancy, and loss of quality of life. Finally, the fourth and final requirement is causation, such that the healthcare provider's failure to exercise appropriate care in providing treatment caused the injuries sustained.
While a number of factors affect the length of time it takes to resolve a medical malpractice claim, such as the nature of the injuries involved, the type of medical procedures involved, and the place in which the suit is brought, generally these suits take at least two years for a full resolution. Some cases will settle prior to trial through negotiations and mediations, reducing the time and expense it takes to resolve the claim. If possible, these avenues often provide a more timely and less stressful alternative.
