Chicago Medical Negligence Lawyers
Primum non nocere is a Latin phrase meaning "First, do no harm." It reminds physicians and other medical professionals that they need to consider the potential risks of any health intervention because even well-meaning actions can have unintended consequences. Yet, all too often, doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health care providers do harm patients, sometimes fatally.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of medical malpractice, you deserve financial compensation for your injuries, medical bills, pain and suffering and more. Please contact a medical malpractice attorney at Casey Woodruff & Johnson today to discuss the specifics of your case.
