Under Illinois law, those who have been harmed by another party’s negligence can pursue a financial recovery for their damages. However, there are legal requirements you must meet to qualify for any personal injury, medical malpractice or any type of civil case and legal deadlines you must meet to file a claim.
Birth Injuries are a type of medical malpractice claim. In Illinois, 735 ILCS 5/2-622 establishes that medical malpractice claimants have two years to file a legal claim for compensation. That means that, generally, you have two years from the date of birth to file a medical malpractice claim in Illinois for your birth injuries.
In Illinois, there is no maximum the amount of money you can recover in a medical malpractice case like a birth injury case. The state previously limited the maximum compensation a birth injury or other medical malpractice victim could recover to $500,000 from a doctor or healthcare professional defendant and $1 million against a hospital or other healthcare facility. Later, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled this law unconstitutional so the state overturned the statute limiting medical malpractice non-economic damages in 2010.

Client Reviews
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!
