UIC Law professor Marc Ginsberg published an article titled “The Illinois Medical Studies Act: A Practical Guide To Its Understanding And Application” and was published in the 48th edition of the Southern Illinois University Law Journal. Read an excerpt below:
“Scholarship, both historically and recently, has revealed that medical negligence lawsuits were, and are, occupational hazards for physicians. In 2017, the American Medical Association reported that thirty-four percent of physicians had been subject to a medical negligence claim. In 2021, Physicians Practice reported that Illinois was one of the ten most litigious states for physicians. Irrespective of these statistics, Illinois is not a tort reform state, and the Supreme Court of Illinois (Supreme Court) has rejected legislative efforts at tort reform on three occasions. Therefore, medical and hospital negligence occupies an important place in Illinois tort law.”
