Elizabeth Neidig
Elizabeth Neidig is a seasoned defense attorney specializing in defending healthcare providers against complex medical malpractice and wrongful death claims. Elizabeth’s strengths lie in understanding the why, what and how behind the litigation –what factors contributed to the outcome, why did the plaintiff choose litigation, and how can the dispute be resolved – and then walking her clients through every step of the process. “Being sued is scary,” Elizabeth says. “Many providers are afraid that because there is litigation, they must have done something wrong. I explain to them that bad outcomes lead to litigation – not bad doctors. I am at my best when helping defendants understand the litigation process. I work with them to understand the medicine, share their story, and ensure they know they have a full team behind them every step of the way.”
After growing up in Michigan, Elizabeth attended the University of Colorado-Boulder for her English degree before returning to the Midwest to attend the Loyola University Chicago School of Law, graduating in 2005. While at Loyola, Elizabeth discovered her true passion for guiding people through the legal process through her work in the Business Law Center Clinic, a skill further developed as a member of the Client Counseling Competition team and working with residents of Chicago’s Audy Home Juvenile Detention Center. Since then, she has represented defendants in a range of civil suits from transportation and premises liability claims to long term care and medical malpractice suits. Through it all, Elizabeth has built a reputation for her meticulous preparation and strategic litigation approach. She has achieved notable successes, including securing several unanimous defense verdicts in Cook County trials.
Recognized for her professionalism and legal acumen, Elizabeth was honored as one of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin’s “Forty Under 40” attorneys to watch in 2018. Colleagues commend her for her ability to assess when litigation is appropriate and when settlement serves her clients’ best interests. She is routinely named a Leading Lawyer in Medical Malpractice Defense by her peers through the Law Bulletin.
When not in the office, Elizabeth spends her time in the far western reaches of Chicagoland with her children and two cats cheering on the Colorado Buffaloes and Detroit Lions, as well as being the commissioner of multiple fantasy football leagues.
