Medical malpractice is a leading cause of death in the United States and is also a major cause of disabling or permanent injuries.
While medical care providers are supposed to provide a professional level of care, they sometimes fall short. Sadly, the consequences of their errors can be very damaging to patients who trusted them to provide help.

- Botched treatment
- Lab errors
- Delayed interventions
- Medication mistakes
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- A failure to obtain informed consent

What does a Cicero medical malpractice attorney do for you?
Malpractice claims are challenging because your ability to recover compensation hinges on proving that a doctor fell short of the reasonable standard of care. This can be a complex technical question, because sometimes things go wrong even with proper treatment.
A Cicero medical malpractice attorney at Gill Ports Hoste LLC will both help you to determine if you have a claim and will work from day one to build the strongest possible claim so you can maximize the chances of being fully and fairly compensated for losses.
Our firm will:
- Obtain medical records and witness statements to understand the care you received
- Consult with experts and medical professionals to identify how your doctor fell short
- Work with you to keep a pain journal and otherwise document the extent of your loss
- Identify all defendants, including doctors and their employers, under the vicarious liability rules in Illinois
- Work to determine if care facilities were negligent in their policies and practices
- Negotiate with large malpractice insurers and some of the biggest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the Illinois area to try to reach an out-of-court settlement
- Prepare for trial and go to court on your behalf, bringing decades of litigation experience to your case to maximize the chances of a favorable verdict
We have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for victims of medical negligence. While your specific injuries will determine the extent of the damages you’re entitled to, we’ll do everything possible to help you get full and fair compensation.
