Hospital Malpractice Lawyer in Peoria, Illinois
Hospital and emergency room physicians and nurses have a hard job, and for the most part, they perform remarkably well.
This does not release them or their institutions, however, from surgical and anesthetic errors or from the duty of treating patients in a reasonable time frame — following through on patient complaints and recognizing signs of serious conditions.
If surgical or emergency room errors caused you to be injured, call the Illinois medical malpractice lawyers at Strong Law Offices.
