I am certainly sorry to hear about your loss. Because this happened in Chicago, you would be well advised to contact a medical malpractice attorney in Illinois to evaluate your case. If there was medical negligence, you might have a claim against the doctor or hospital or both, but you really need to talk to a lawyer who is licensed in Illinois and practices in the area of medical malpractice.
