Sabina Babel
BIOGRAPHY
Sabina Babel concentrates her practice on the defense of hospitals, medical professionals, and other healthcare providers against claims of medical negligence and premises liability. She has extensive practice in the defense of claims involving traumatic birth injury, pediatrics, failure-to-diagnose, and other complex litigation matters, which often result in significant catastrophic injuries and neurological complications. Sabina has been involved in all aspects of the litigation process, from pre-suit investigations and analysis through post-trial motions and appeals. She has second-chaired numerous trials to verdict.
Sabina brings a unique perspective to her practice as a result of her prior work as a plaintiff’s attorney. That experience enables her to anticipate the approach opposing counsel will take, and to counter it. She welcomes the challenge to thoroughly investigate the medicine involved in each case, and her exhaustive research often leads to the development of unique and unanticipated causation defenses.
Sabina also understands that litigation often is stressful for clients, and she exercises concerned ownership over the issues facing her clients. She also strives to remain responsive and accessible to clients throughout the lifecycle of each case.
In 2017, Sabina was recognized by the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin on its annual “Forty Under 40” list of rising attorneys. She also has received repeated recognition as an Illinois Super Lawyers “Rising Star,” and as an “Emerging Lawyer” by Leading Lawyers.
While a law student at the University of Miami, Sabina served as the Executive Editor of the University of Miami Inter-American Law Review.
