Medical Malpractice Personal Injury Attorneys David A. Axelrod & Associates

Chicago February 19, 2021 David A. Axelrod and Associates, P.C. filed a civil lawsuit in Cook County late Thursday afternoon against a South Suburban restaurant owner accusing him of using a covert, shoe camera to secretly shoot video up the skirts of eight female employees without their knowledge. The Complaint alleged that most were teenagers including a 14-year-old girl. The plaintiffs’ lawyers say a hard drive seized by Illinois State Police from the defendant’s Frankfort restaurant contains deleted files that have recently been retrieved by their forensic expert. They say the files contain more than 24,000 photographs and videos that appear to be taken over a decade of covert filming up the skirts of many young women.

Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) were originally designed to offer patients an alternative to traditional hospitals for minor surgical procedures. These centers typically offer the convenience of same day, outpatient services, and are generally able to perform procedures at a lower cost. While services vary by center, they may perform a myriad of procedures ranging from tonsillectomies and colonoscopies to complex joint replacements and spinal surgeries.

The basis for a malpractice claim is that a medical provider made an error which would have not occurred given the expected standard of care under similar circumstances. If a patient receives sub-standard care from a medical professional and it results in harm to the patient, it may be a case of malpractice. Errors that could lead to malpractice typically stem from poor judgement by a medical professional or when a medical professional improperly performs a treatment.

Figuring out if you have a malpractice case against a medical provider can be very difficult. That’s why it’s always best to seek legal advice if you think you might have a case.
