Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Elgin Illinois?

You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Illinois law caps non-economic damages at $500,000 against a single doctor and $1,000,000 against a hospital or other healthcare entity.
Do I need an expert witness for a medical malpractice case in Illinois?
