Medical Malpractice

Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Trusting your health, and sometimes your life, to doctors, surgeons, and other medical professionals is something people do on a daily basis. People trust medical professionals in part because of their extensive education and residency training. When a mistake happens, whether in a clinic, emergency room, or hospital, patients are often left feeling angry and confused. They wonder how a professional with such extensive training could have been so negligent. Attorney Patti Tuttle worked for nearly 20 years as an intensive care nurse prior to becoming an attorney. Her medical background combined with the trial experience of several lawyers at our firm can ensure comprehensive representation in medical malpractice claims.
