Doctor & Nurse Negligence

Chicago Doctor Negligence Attorneys

Representing Illinois Victims of Doctor Negligence in Medical Malpractice Claims

Each year, thousands of people die as a result of medical malpractice. Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional–often a doctor–fails to provide medical treatment to the standard of care that is required, and a patient is injured or dies as a result.

Oftentimes when a medical mistake results in additional injuries or death, a doctor or hospital is at fault, but nurses, nurse practitioners, and other health care providers may be liable for medical malpractice as well. Regardless of the nature of the defendants, a medical malpractice case involves complex legal and factual issues, making it imperative to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

At Cogan & Power, P.C., our Chicago doctor malpractice attorneys have the skill and experience you need to pursue a medical malpractice claim against a doctor or the employing medical institution.

Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our Chicago medical malpractice attorneys to discuss a possible legal claim for doctor negligence.

    "I can not speak highly enough"

    I can not speak highly enough for the experience I have received from Cogan & Power Attorneys at Law. I was introduced to John Power through a mural friend. I was impressed from the very first phone call with John Power to us meeting through the pandemic. His professionalism and his medical knowledge is unbelievable… I have to say from that day moving forward John Power, Sara Davis and Kim Stefanek all put me at ease. My cases lasted just about 3 years and I was notified every step of the way on what was going forward and keeping me in the loop. John and Sara made sure that I was ready and comfortable for my Deposition, they made sure every stone was unturned! Kim Stefanek is one of their paralegals and she is awesome. I can go and I highly recommend Cogan & Power for your legal issues. John Power & Sara Davis are amazing attorneys and exceptional, caring, compassionate people!!
