Medical Malpractice
It is perfectly natural for you to think that doctors, nurses and other medical care professionals will provide caring and professional treatment to you when you go to a clinic or hospital. However, the reality is that many health care providers fail to meet the standard of care that is expected of them, and they end up hurting patients instead of helping them. Every day, patients in Chicago and throughout Illinois suffer serious and often fatal harm due to medical negligence.
Since we founded our firm more than 30 years ago, the lawyers of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. have made protecting the rights of patients and their families a major focus of our practice. We believe that medical malpractice victims need a strong advocate in their corner when doctors betray their trust. We work hard to hold negligent medical professionals accountable and to seek the compensation our clients deserve.

Our record includes numerous multimillion dollar medical malpractice settlements and verdicts, including several results that are the largest of their kind in Illinois. For six consecutive years, U.S. News – Best Lawyers® has recognized our work on behalf of plaintiffs in Chicago medical malpractice cases in its annual “Best Law Firms” rankings.
We serve clients in medical malpractice cases that include:
- Birth injuries (including errors that cause cerebral palsy)
- Misdiagnosis of cancer and other illnesses
- Medication errors
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Emergency room errors
- Radiology errors
- Health care-associated infections.
Unfortunately, doctors and hospitals often refuse to accept blame. They deny that they committed a medical error or claim that their error did not cause a patient’s harm. Our lawyers respond by conducting exhaustive investigations. We review medical records, interview witnesses and gather and analyze all other relevant evidence. We also consult with highly knowledgeable experts from a variety of different medical fields. Our goal is to get to the truth.
Our firm’s hard work and preparation often leads to settlements. However, we are always prepared to take medical malpractice cases to trial when medical professionals refuse to accept responsibility or to provide full and fair compensation to our clients.
