Did you know that in Illinois, if a doctor commits a medical error, they don’t have to admit it in court? That’s right—under Illinois law, even if a hospital investigates a case internally and determines that mistakes were made, they are not required to disclose their findings.
It’s called the Medical Studies Act, and it’s just one of the ways the system is designed to protect hospitals rather than patients. If you or a loved one is injured—or worse—due to medical malpractice, the doctor and hospital may know they were in the wrong but legally don’t have to tell you.
How Does the Medical Studies Act Affect Victims?
The Medical Studies Act shields hospitals and doctors from having to reveal internal investigations and findings regarding medical errors. This means:
- You may never know the hospital determined that a medical mistake was made.
- Key evidence may be hidden, making it harder to prove malpractice.
- The system favors hospitals and doctors, putting victims at a disadvantage.
