This page is about Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits, how they work, and the settlement amounts and jury payouts victims see.

Sample settlements and verdicts are useful tools in conjunction with other tools to help victims better understand at least the range of values in a medical malpractice case.  Clearly, no two cases are the same, and you cannot summarize a case in a paragraph.

Sometimes, I have tried or settled cases where there was no way to summarize the case in a way that would explain why the plaintiff won or why the verdict was as high or low as it was.  Said differently, reading these is important and education in understanding the value of medical malpractice claims in Illinois but you can only learn so much from these.

Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and medications are widely used these days for common ailments. OTC drugs are popular and convenient because consumers can buy them without any input from a doctor or other medical professional. Ready access to OTC drugs presents some risks, however. On this page, our product liability lawyers will look at potential lawsuits involving OTC drug injuries.


OTC Lawsuits – News and Updates:

July 2025: The FDA issued a warning to PMS4PMS, LLC, a company producing OTC drugs in New York, for violating manufacturing quality standards. The agency found that the company was releasing products without confirming whether they actually contained the listed active ingredients or whether the drugs remained stable through the expiration date. These types of violations raise serious concerns about consumer safety.

Every day, people are injured while riding in Uber vehicles—either as passengers or bystanders. When those injuries are serious, the aftermath is overwhelming. The good news is that Uber carries a $1 million liability policy that can provide substantial compensation in the right circumstances. The personal injury lawyers at Miller & Zois know how to navigate these cases and fight to get our clients the full value of their claims.

Why Uber Accidents Happen

Uber drivers are not professionals. They are everyday drivers using their own vehicles, often without specialized training or commercial licenses. They are under pressure to take more trips, follow GPS directions, and keep passengers happy. That combination leads to mistakes, and those mistakes ultimately result in crashes.  Because Uber passengers are frequently not wearing seatbelts, we see higher rates of ejection and severe injury.
