Recognizing Medical Malpractice.

It is important to distinguish between a bad outcome and medical malpractice. Not every unsuccessful treatment or complication is grounds for a lawsuit. Medical malpractice occurs specifically when a healthcare professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care for their field, and that failure directly results in injury or death to the patient. These cases involve intricate medical and legal details.

Our experienced Brantford medical malpractice attorneys have the resources to evaluate and litigate a wide variety of claims, including:

• Birth Injury Cases: We represent families whose children have suffered injuries during pregnancy, labour, or delivery, including cerebral palsy, shoulder dystocia, and hypoxic brain injuries. 
• Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis: We handle cases where critical conditions such as cancer, heart attacks, or meningitis were missed or diagnosed too late, compromising the patient’s chance of recovery.
• Surgical Errors: We investigate negligence in the operating room, such as wrong-site surgery, anesthesia errors, accidental organ damage, or post-surgical infections caused by poor care.
• Medication and Pharmacy Errors: We pursue claims involving the administration of the wrong medication, incorrect dosages, or failure to identify harmful drug interactions.

The Process for Medical Negligence Claims in Brantford.

Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Ontario is a complex undertaking with a high burden of proof. You must demonstrate not only that an error occurred, but that it was the specific cause of your injury. This often requires facing well-funded defence teams and the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA). 

When you choose Gluckstein Lawyers for your medical negligence claims in Brantford, our personal injury lawyers handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on healing:

1. Comprehensive Case Evaluation: We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your situation and determine if your case has legal merit.
2. Independent Expert Review: We collaborate with respected, independent medical experts to analyze your records and provide an objective opinion on whether the standard of care was breached.
3. Assessment of Damages: We work with financial and care experts to quantify the full extent of your losses, including past and future income, cost of care, home modifications, and pain and suffering.
4. Strategic Litigation: While we strive to negotiate fair settlements to resolve cases efficiently, our team is always prepared to take your case to trial to ensure you receive justice.
