Settlement for a Client Whose Infant Suffered Irreversible Brain Damage Due to Medical Negligence
The mother brought the boy to his physician on several occasions regarding the problem, but it took almost a full year before the physician recommended that the boy have an MRI.
Our client in this case was a woman whose obstetrician/gynecologist had failed to diagnose her terminal ovarian cancer, despite having given her numerous pap smears.
A woman who had undergone a partial hysterectomy for fibroid tumors came to Malman Law for help after she had experienced a series of unfortunate medical events and a costly misdiagnosis.
Settlement awarded for a 43-year-old who was the victim of medical malpractice..
If you are a railroad worker who has been injured on the job in Chicago, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation under federal law.
Unlike most workers, injured railroad employees are not limited to collecting benefits through Illinois workers’ compensation.
Recognizing the dangers that railroad workers face on a daily basis, in 1908 the federal government passed the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) in order to provide protections not offered to other types of employees. Under FELA, railroad workers who have been injured on the job can seek full compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses.
However, just because these remedies are available does not mean that they are easy to obtain. In Chicago and throughout Illinois, railroad companies often vigorously dispute their employees’ FELA claims. At Malman Law, our Railroad Workers’ Rights attorneys handle several FELA claims each year, and we know what it takes to win. Let us help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
As a result, if your employer’s negligence – no matter how slight – in any way contributed to your injuries, you are entitled to compensation for all of your physical, financial, and emotional losses. If you have suffered a serious injury that requires medical treatment and prevents you from doing your job, these losses could be substantial. Injury victims often do not realize the full scope of their legal rights, and at Malman Law we have helped numerous clients collect million-dollar and multi-million-dollar awards.
Examples of negligence that may entitle you to compensation include:
Importantly, FELA’s coverage is broader than claims just against negligent employers. If another employee’s negligence or a manufacturer’s faulty product caused your injury, this too can be grounds to file a lawsuit under FELA.
FELA covers all types of work-related injuries and occupational illnesses within the railroad industry. While many workers and railroad companies mistakenly believe that FELA only applies to physical injuries, there are no limits on the types of injuries and illnesses that can form the basis for a FELA claim. Some common FELA claims include:
As experienced personal injury and workers’ compensation lawyers who have successfully handled more than 25,000 cases, we have seen almost every type of job-related illness and injury. We can use our significant experience to help you fight for maximum compensation.
