Medical Malpractice

No One's Perfect …

Medical Malpractice Attorney — Peoria, Illinois

Medical science isn't perfect. There is still a lot we don't know and a lot more that we discover every year. No one expects doctors and other health care providers to be perfect either. We simply expect them to do their best and to meet basic minimum standards of care.

Tort reformers (a.k.a. insurance company propaganda specialists) will tell you different. They'll tell you that medical malpractice claims are the root of all evil and that everyone could receive excellent health care if only something could be done to put plaintiff's attorneys in their place. They continue to make these claims even though their mission has been a success. As a result, medical malpractice claims have become incredibly expensive to bring and very difficult to win.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of medical malpractice — the sooner an investigation can begin, the better our odds of success. Contact us today.

At Nicoara & Steagall, we represent families and individuals throughout Central Illinois who have been seriously harmed as the result of:

• Failure to diagnose
• Misdiagnoses and delayed diagnoses
• Failure to treat/emergency room errors
• Surgical errors
• Doctor negligence
• Hospital negligence
• Obstetric malpractice
• Medication errors

Attorney John P. Nicoara, a physics major in college, is comfortable with the medical science involved in these cases. He understands it, and he can talk about it in clear, understandable terms to a jury. This is important. Why? — Because most jurors do not want to find the hospital or doctor guilty. They have either bought into the insurance company propaganda or they do not want to believe that these things happen. Mr. Nicoara's ability to counter those tendencies with compelling information and clarity is an important part of our success with medical malpractice cases.
