Medical Malpractice

When a doctor, nurse, or another medical professional makes a mistake, patients are often forced to suffer unnecessarily. At Newland & Newland, LLP, we know that medical mistakes are not always caused by carelessness or negligence, but those that are could leave the doctor or health care facility liable for the injuries sustained by the patient. Our lawyers can help you and your family in cases related to:

• Doctor errors, including mistakes made by primary care physicians and specialists;
• Birth injuries, including brachial nerve palsy, cerebral palsy, and infant head injuries;
• Misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and delayed diagnosis, including diagnoses of meningitis and cancer;
• Hospital malpractice, including negligence in the emergency room;
• Anesthesiologist errors;
• Surgical mistakes;
• Radiologist errors, including misread X-rays and other imaging; and
• Medication errors, including pharmacy mistakes.

Workers' Compensation

According to Illinois law, employees who are injured while at work are usually entitled to collect workers' compensation benefits, including reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages, disability, decreased earning capacity and vocational retraining, if needed. Unfortunately, however, the process of collecting those benefits can often be difficult and overwhelming. At Newland & Newland, LLP, we help workers who have suffered all types of work-related illnesses or injuries, including head injuries, injuries to the back, neck, and spine, and repetitive motion injuries. We can even help secure benefits for those with pre-existing injuries that were aggravated on the job.

Whether you are buying a home, selling a home, or both, the team at Newland & Newland, LLP will provide the guidance you need every step of the way. We also represent commercial landlords in a wide range of landlord-tenant matters.
