No, children are not hurt more than adults in hospitals. In fact, adults and children are affected by medical malpractice at similar rates, however this does not mean that they do not suffer equally devastating consequences due to this negligence

Are There Differences Between Adult and Child Medical Malpractice?
No. Although, proving medical malpractice in a child’s case could be slightly more difficult, but that should not dissuade a parent from pursuing a case against a doctor and/or hospital if they suspect that their child was injured due to negligence.
Illinois does have specific requirements in medical malpractice cases that must be followed for the claim to be considered. First, it must be shown that a doctor-patient relationship was established, the physician breached their care of duty to your child, this breach caused an injury to your child, and your child had compensable injuries due to this breach.
Then, a physician with no stake in your case must attest to the validity of the claim before a claim can be filed, and the case must be built with expert testimony for the courts to consider the case legally sufficient. There are other requirements and procedures for medical malpractice cases in the state of Illinois as well, which the personal injury lawyers at America’s Consumer Lawyer are experienced in.
