Medical Malpractice Claims

Our attorneys have more than 75 years of combined experience in defending medical professionals and entities against negligence claims. Hundreds of physicians, nurses and therapists have relied on us for their defense.  We represent most of the Chicago-area’s major medical centers.

We have tried numerous cases to successful defense verdicts, including many involving catastrophic injuries or deaths.  We have a roster of pre-eminent testifying experts in virtually every field of medicine, with a special emphasis in obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, anesthesia and cardiac cases.

Legal Malpractice Claims

We both prosecute and defend legal malpractice cases, throughout Illinois and  adjoining states.  These claims have been premised on breaches, or alleged breaches, of the standard of care, fiduciary duty, breach contract or ethical obligations. We have counseled clients and litigated these claims both for and against lawyers who had provided legal services in widely varied practice areas, ranging from personal injury and toxic tort cases, to failures to comply with environmental or securities laws, to failed patent protection.

We also provide consultation services on ethical issues to other attorneys.

Accountants Malpractice

We have defended accountants in cases relating to securities violations, business valuation and tax.  These cases have included defense of fraud and negligence claims brought against accountants both by clients and intended third-party beneficiaries.

Architects and Engineers’ Malpractice

Our collective experience in defense of design claims includes virtually all conceivable types of architect and engineer claims. We have defended design professionals for both economic and non-economic damages stemming from both design failures and work site practices.

Miscellaneous Malpractice

We also have experience in defending dentists, insurance brokers, land surveyors, realtors, and paramedics and in lender liability and director and officer liability matters.
