We are lucky here in Ontario.
Most of the time we receive excellent medical care, our problems are appropriately handled and we are, on the whole, pleased with the medical treatment we have received.
However, every so often, we may suspect that we have received substandard treatment from a health care provider, be it a doctor, nurse, dentist or therapist.
If you have such suspicions, you should call a lawyer with experience in medical malpractice matters. There are strict limitation periods that must be adhered to if the decision is made to proceed with litigation.
A medical malpractice action can only be successful if you are able to show that a health care provider failed to provide the appropriate standard of care, and that this failure caused you injury.
Such lawsuits are complex and time-consuming. During the initial meeting you will be advised that we must first obtain all of the relevant medical records. Thereafter, we review those records and consult with appropriate medical experts to obtain their opinion as to the care and treatment you received. We are then able to provide you with our opinion as to whether we recommend proceeding with a lawsuit.
Successful medical malpractice litigation requires specific expertise and experience. Sullivan Festeryga LLP has senior lawyers with the skills and experience you can rely on to get you the best results possible.
