Tamara A. Walker - Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Medical malpractice is professional negligence by act or omission by a health care provider in which the treatment provided falls below the accepted standard of practice in the medical community and causes injury or death to the patient, with most cases involving medical error. In other words, it’s when a doctor falls below professional standards set for treating patients and causes injury as a result. It is important that you or a loved one’s medical malpractice case is handled properly from the beginning. The first step is to contact our office for a free consultation. If you have a viable claim, then we will have a medical expert examine your case to determine whether or not what happened falls below the accepted standards of care for medical personnel.
After the O.J. Simpson trial, Attorney Johnnie Cochran scaled back his criminal practice and began to focus on personal injury, wrongful death and medical malpractice. While working as an attorney for Cochran’s firm, Attorney Walker was trained by a senior partner on how to evaluate and handle personal injury and medical malpractice claims. In her own firm, Ms. Walker has been extremely successful in settling personal injury and medical malpractice claims, avoiding the need for drawn out and unpredictable trials. All medical malpractice cases are done on a contingent fee, meaning that we receive a portion of the settlement or judgment. So if you don’t win a monetary award, under the vast majority of circumstances you won’t owe us a penny for our representation on your case. Please contact Walker & Associates immediately if you have been injured by medical personnel that you or a loved one entrusted with your life. Statute of limitations place severe restrictions on the time period that you have to file a lawsuit, so it is important that you have quality representation from the beginning.
