What Clients Say
People we’ve helped.
What You Can Recover
Damages aren’t just medical bills.
Most injury victims underestimate what they’re owed, and adjusters count on that. We document, calculate, and demand every category of damages. The first offer is almost never the real number.
Corrective medical care
The treatment needed to repair the harm: additional surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, medication, and the specialists who take over your care.
Lost wages & earning capacity
Time out of work during treatment and recovery, plus the future income you can no longer earn if the injury is permanent.
Pain & suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress, and the toll of living with an injury that should never have happened.
Loss of a normal life
Disability, disfigurement, and the activities, independence, and relationships the injury has taken from you.
Future care
Long-term treatment, assistive equipment, in-home help, and home modifications, valued across your whole life expectancy.
Family caregiving & out-of-pocket costs
The value of the care your family now provides, plus travel, lodging, and the everyday expenses this injury forced on you.
How It Works
Three steps. No surprises.
Step 01
Free, Confidential Call
Tell us what happened and what you were told. We listen, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether it's worth pulling the records.
Step 02
We Review the Medical Records
We obtain the complete file and have physicians in the right specialty examine it to determine whether the standard of care was met, and where it broke down.
Step 03
We Win the Case
Most cases settle once the evidence is undeniable. When a hospital and its insurer won't pay full value, we take them to a jury, and we have the verdicts to show for it. You owe us nothing unless we win.
FAQ
Medical malpractice questions, answered.
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Not every bad medical outcome is malpractice. A case exists when a provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and that failure causes harm. We review your records with medical experts, at no cost, to determine whether negligence occurred.
What do I have to prove?
You must show that a provider owed you a duty of care, breached the standard of care, and that the breach caused your injury and damages. Illinois also requires a physician's report supporting the claim, which we handle for you.
How long do I have to file in Illinois?
Illinois generally requires medical malpractice claims to be filed within two years of when you knew or should have known of the injury, with an overall limit and special rules for minors. Deadlines are strict, so contact us as soon as possible.
How much is a medical malpractice case worth?
It depends on the severity and permanence of the harm, the cost of future care, lost income, and the strength of the evidence. Serious cases can reach into seven and eight figures. We give an honest assessment after reviewing the records.
Will I have to sue my own doctor?
A claim is really against the provider's malpractice insurer, which exists to pay for exactly this. Holding a negligent provider accountable also helps protect future patients from the same mistake.
How much does it cost to hire Cronauer Law?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, only if we win. We also advance the significant costs these cases require. The initial consultation is always free.
