Illinois Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Seeks Damages for Ilioinguinal Neuralgia

A man who says he sustained ilioinguinal neuralgia and experienced blood clotting and swelling in his left testicle is suing St. Elizabeth's Hospital of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, Lincoln Surgical Group, and Dr. Scott Crouch for Illinois medical malpractice.

Joseph Niebruegge says Lincoln Surgical Group and Dr. Crouch treated him for left inguinal hernia between October 26, 2007 until July 21, 2008. In November 2007, Crouch used mesh during surgery to repair the condition.

Niebruegge says that because of the medical procedure, he experienced numbness and burning pain in his lower abdomen, which is a condition known as illoinguinal neuralgia. He says that he fell because he wasn't given adequate support as he was moving, and, as a result, he experienced blood clotting and swelling in his testicle.

Niebruegge is seeking over $200,000 for permanent and severe injuries and disabilities, lost wages, and medical expenses.

Illinois Medical Malpractice
Doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other medical workers are supposed to provide all patients with a certain level of care. When failure to provide that care, medical errors, or other negligent acts causes injury, health complications, infection, a worse prognosis, allergic reactions, or death, the medical provider can be held liable for Chicago medical malpractice.

In many instances of medical malpractice, these medical errors are not simple mistakes that can be reversed easily. It is important that you work with a Chicago medical malpractice lawyer who knows how to investigate these kinds of cases and who pursue your financial recovery.
