Illinois Workers Comp and Covid-19
ILLINOIS WORK COMP UPDATE CONCERNING CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) Effective April 13, 202 …
We trust our doctors, nurses and other health care professionals to take their jobs seriously and provide us with the highest quality of medical care so we can stay (or get) healthy. Unfortunately, however, health care professionals may not always provide us with the care we need, as they may be overworked, improperly trained or otherwise unable (or willing) to ensure that we are getting the type and quality of care we need.
What can be just as frustrating as these facts is that it’s not always easy to tell when you may have been the victim of medical mistakes and, as a result, when you may be entitled to compensation from negligent health care professionals (and possibly the facilities that employ them).
Here and in an upcoming second and third parts to this blog, we will outline the top 5 signs of malpractice that all patients should be aware of so that they know when to seek justice and compensation for their malpractice-related injuries and losses.
Sign 1: Only 1 test was used to diagnose your condition
Although some medical conditions are associated with very distinct and obvious symptoms, in many cases, it takes many medical tests to properly diagnose a condition. When doctors or other health care professionals only perform a single (or, worse yet, no) test on you and then definitively diagnose you with a specific condition, be skeptical. This is one clear-cut sign of malpractice because it is rarely the case that one test can be used to diagnose patients’ conditions.
Be sure to look for our forthcoming second and third parts of this blog for three more signs of malpractice that all patients should be familiar with.
