Chicago Medical Malpractice Attorney Blog

This blog post deals with medical malpractice lawsuits, appellate court case decisions and changes in Illinois and federal law related to medical negligence. The blog also includes changes in practice. For example, many of the blog posts discuss the changes in the medical practice generally, including how the practice of medicine affects health care overall. Today more than ever, electronic medical records are the norm. This is a profound change from the past. Most doctors, nurses and medical providers in the past have written their medical record entries by hand which made up the patient’s hospital or practitioner’s chart. That fashion has been overcome by the electronic medical records and electronic, computer-generated posting of patient progress notes. In our practice when handling a medical malpractice lawsuit, audit trails are requested in each case. The reason for that is among other things, the audit trail allows a lawyer to have an outline of what entries were made on the hospital chart, when they were made and by whom. The untangling of electronic medical records is much more involved today than it has in the past. There are different databases, there are different medical record programs and there are different locations for storing medical records in today’s hospital settings. This blog post also concentrates on the elements of medical negligence. Oftentimes posts discuss the many ways that medical professionals can avoid injuring patients unnecessarily.

“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.

“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.

“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
