Working Up a Med-Mal Case: A Free Article from Clifford Law Offices

July 03, 2010 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
The Chicago personal injury law office, Clifford Law Offices, announced that it has posted a legal article on their website (http://www.cliffordlaw.com) in an effort to educate the public about legal matters such as those pertaining to medical malpractice issues.

Despite the constantly shifting laws that govern medical malpractice in Illinois, the lawyer's decision-making process for determining whether to take a med-mal case should remain fixed. The high costs associated with review and litigation of med-mal cases demand that lawyers only pursue claims that detail real negligence with extensive damages. Some additional factors when working up a med-mal case include the statute of limitations, claims that involve infants who have suffered permanent damage, and claims that implicate harm to one's quality of life.

Robert Clifford, the nationally renowned personal injury attorney based out of Chicago, wrote about the prime factors for the evaluation of medical malpractice claims in a piece for the Chicago Lawyer. In "Working Up a Med-Mal Case," Clifford details the process for evaluating med-mal cases and points out particular pitfalls and highlights that should attract the attention of the attorney.
