No other area in personal injury litigation is more complex or fiercely defended than cases of medical malpractice. The medical profession has significant resources at its disposal to defend your claim. To successfully advance your claim, you require a team of lawyers who are equipped and prepared to take on these difficult cases. The medical malpractice lawyers at Goodman Halioua LLP are familiar with the qualified and recognized medical experts needed to successfully prosecute your case.  We are often called upon to stand up to the medical profession’s insurer to make sure your rights are protected.

In Ontario, patients can sue physicians, hospital staff, and hospitals within two years from the date that they knew or ought to have known of the claim. A finding of negligence will only result where the actions of the doctor or hospital are demonstrated through expert opinion to have fallen below the requisite standard of care. There must also be a finding that the negligence of the physician or hospital caused or materially contributed to your unfortunate outcome.

If you suspect that you have been the victim of medical malpractice you should consult a medical malpractice lawyer immediately. It is within your rights to pursue a tort claim against a negligent party, such as a physician or hospital.
