Gluckstein Lawyers – Birth Injury Expertise
At Gluckstein Lawyers, our team of birth injury lawyers understand the complexities of birth injury cases and are here to support you through every step of the legal process.
If you suspect that your baby has experienced a preventable birth injury and trauma, our team is dedicated to helping you determine the facts and seek the justice you deserve. Your legal journey with us begins with a no cost initial consultation, during which we will discuss the obstetrical history and the circumstances surrounding your situation. We meticulously gather and review all relevant medical records, including antenatal, labor and delivery, fetal heart tracings, and newborn records, at no cost to you.
Should concerns arise during this review, we engage highly trained medical experts to assess whether there was a breach of the standard of care and establish causation for the birth injury. With their expert support, we build a robust case to pursue compensation for your child and family, aiming to provide necessary justice and financial support. Our experienced birth injury and trauma lawyers in Toronto, Ottawa, and across Ontario are well-versed in handling such intricate cases and will tirelessly advocate for your family's rights.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do you expect my personal injury case to take before it is resolved?
Litigation is a long process and every case is different. There are common stages to all Ontario personal injury actions, including:
- Starting a lawsuit (issuing a statement of claim): This must be done within two years of the date of the incident.
- Examinations for discovery: This generally occurs within about a year of the commencement of the lawsuit.
- Mediation: This generally occurs within about a year of the Examinations for Discovery.
- Pre-trial conference: This can occur within about a year of the Mediation.
- Trial: This can occur anywhere from 3 to 5 years after the lawsuit has been started.
A claim can settle at any point throughout this timeline.
Every case is different, and our personal injury lawyers can give you a clearer picture based on your specific situation. A lengthy process shouldn't mean a costly one, our fees only come due if we secure your compensation.
