Partner Ted Jennings has nearly 30 years of experience litigating complex cases. He knows how to address the unique challenges facing clients whose lives have been permanently changed by medical mistakes.

With a deep interest in the medical field and over 20 years of specialized experience, Ted is a respected litigator in the medical malpractice space. Ted understands the challenging medical and legal issues that arise when medical care results in harm, and he has spent years honing his ability to explain these complicated concepts to his clients, judges, and juries.

Renowned for his work in catastrophic injury cases, Ted has secured tens of millions of dollars for his clients including:

$5,500,000 settlement for a case against a Chicago-area hospital in mediation. This case brought justice to a woman who lost her only daughter because of hospital negligence. Ted’s work helped give the family much-needed closure in a time of uncertainty and limited transparency.
$5,000,000 settlement for a misdiagnosed infection in an Iowa hospital resulting in quadriplegia.
$2,000,000 for post-operative complications in 2022.

According to Ted, one of the most rewarding aspects of his work is offering not just compensation but also answers and advocacy to clients who were failed by the medical community. This community was supposed to help and heal them, but instead, it left them injured and with insufficient information. Ted’s legal practice, supported by the team at Coplan + Crane, focuses on seeking those answers and ensuring our clients know they will not face the powerful medical industry alone.

Ted is a designated Super Lawyer in Illinois and has been selected by his peers as a Leading Lawyer in personal injury and medical malpractice.

He is a member of the Society of Trial Lawyers and American Board of Trial Advocates— elite, invitation-only organizations of top trial lawyers in the Chicago area and throughout the nation. Ted is a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice.
