Medical malpractice 09

CHICAGO — A patient is suing Alexian Brothers Medical Center and Amita Health Alexian Brothers Rehabilitation Hospital, Elk Grove Village, citing alleged insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries and negligence after he fell and suffered injuries.

Kevin Tucker filed a complaint on March 30 in Cook County Circuit Court against the defendants alleging they failed to provide proper medical care to the plaintiff.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges he experienced pain from suffering a fall which led to an injury to his right leg, which has been amputated below the knee.
