Toronto Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Winning a medical malpractice claim is not always easy, as oftentimes, when medical professionals face accusations of medical malpractice, they will hire expert medical defense lawyers to disprove the malpractice claim, as their careers are often on the line in these cases. This is why you must hire a team of equally determined lawyers who are ready to fight for what is rightfully yours.

To win a medical malpractice claim, we must first prove that you were the medical professional’s patient, and that the professional, therefore, owed you a duty of care. We must then prove that the medical professional breached the standard of care by making an error that a similarly-trained medical professional would not have made. Finally, we will have to show that the medical professional’s negligence directly resulted in harming you or worsening your medical condition and that you incurred significant damages as a result. In Ontario, cases like this typically require reports from independent medical experts confirming that negligence occurred. As long as we can win your claim, you should recover compensation to help cover the cost of your out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by OHIP, lost income, emotional distress, and more. Worth knowing: Canadian law places a cap on pain and suffering damages in the most serious personal injury and malpractice cases, currently set at roughly $450,000.
