Medical Malpractice

Central Illinois Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Bad medical outcomes are not always the result of medical malpractice. In many incidents, the physicians, surgeons, nurses, and other trained medical personnel involved did everything they could to prevent such an outcome and yet still lost the fight. In some cases however, people are seriously injured or killed as the result of negligent medical care.

If you have reason to believe that you or a family member has been the victim of medical malpractice, contact Shay & Associates and talk to a lawyer who can evaluate your claim.

A different kind of law firm…dedicated to serving you.

At Shay & Associates, we offer clients in the Central Illinois region attorneys with more than four decades of combined legal experience, and strong courtroom advocates who are not afraid to take on hospitals or their insurers in court.

Our lawyers handle medical malpractice claims resulting from:

• Birth injuries / obstetric malpractice
• Surgical errors

Although these cases can be highly complex and difficult to prove in court, if we believe that you have a legitimate claim you can rest assured that our firm will invest the resources that are necessary to prepare the case correctly. Our lawyers investigate, interview hospital staff, review medical records, and work with medical experts to identify key deviations from the standard of care and detect negligence on the part of medical personnel.

As a client of our firm, you will work closely with, and have access to, the attorney managing your case from the moment you hire us to the case's conclusion. We will listen. We will be responsive to your concerns. We will act decisively to get results on your behalf. You can count on our commitment to these principles.
