Medical Malpractice

We are fortunate in Ontario to have some of the best medical providers in the world. But like any other profession, mistakes are made. When that happens in medicine the consequences for you and your family can be catastrophic.

Medical malpractice cases are complex. Complications can occur through no fault of your medical team. The success or failure of your malpractice case will usually depend on the answer to two questions:

• Did the physician’s care fall below the standard expected of them?
• Did this failure cause your injury or loss?

Answering these questions may seem straightforward. This could not be further from the truth. The only way to establish that the care you received fell below the standard of care and caused your injury or loss is by your lawyer obtaining opinions from medical experts. If these experts support your case then you move on to quantifying damages.

The only path to success in a malpractice case is through relentless preparation and extensive consultations with medical experts. This work starts at the very beginning of your case, not on the doorstep to trial.

Our process begins with an extensive intake meeting with you where we learn all that we can about what happened. We then review all relevant medical records documenting the care that you received. If we feel there may be a viable case, we share our thoughts and the medical records with an expert in the appropriate medical specialty to obtain their opinion on the case. We move forward with litigation upon receipt of a supportive opinion from our medical expert.

Every case is unique and presents its own challenges. Our lawyers are available to you 24/7 to answer questions and provide support throughout your case. Our goal is simple: ensure the best possible outcome for you; one that reflects your goals, interests and long-term financial security.
