About
Saira Pasha
Ms. Saira Pasha is an attorney who has extensive experience managing complex medical malpractice litigation for a large Illinois healthcare system and a major multi-state malpractice insurance carrier. Now, her focus and passion have shifted towards advocating for victims of medical malpractice and their families in order to obtain answers and justice.
In her prior roles, Ms. Pasha handled hundreds of malpractice claims, from ones filed directly by patients to those litigated by the most successful plaintiff firms in Chicago. She was responsible for evaluating liability, causation, and damages to develop an overall defense strategy for each claim. This required detailed reviews of medical records (including with the electronic medical record system) interviewing defendant physicians, nurses, and other witnesses to the incident, obtaining expert reviews to obtain standard of care opinions, assisting with written discovery, and attending critical depositions.
