Lawyers For General Malpractice
Our Toronto-based lawyers and staff have experience dealing with many kinds of general malpractice cases throughout Ontario and Canada, including the following fields of medicine:
General Malpractice
Health care professionals are entrusted with the health of their patients. They must provide care in accordance with accepted standards of practice.
When health care professionals fail to meet these standards, patients can be put unnecessarily at risk. Sometimes no significant harm occurs, but at other times, patients are left with devastating injuries. Every year, many patients die in hospital as a result of substandard care.
Cardiology
Cardiology is the branch of medicine dealing with the heart. Patients with improperly diagnosed heart conditions or those who have not been given proper care may experience complications such as heart attacks, heart failure or difficulty recuperating from a cardiac incident.
Orthopedics
Orthopedic surgeons deal with musculoskeletal system. These surgeons often deal with potential devastating injuries, particular in relation to the spine. If a spinal abnormality is not diagnosed quickly or the spinal cord is damaged during surgery, patients can be left as paraplegics or quadriplegics.
Pediatrics
Pediatricians have our children’s health in their hands. An error by a pediatrician can affect a child’s health for the rest of his or her life. Failure to administer proper fluids, manage airways, diagnose the source of seizures and provide proper treatment can all be devastating and result in a child who will require lifelong care and therapy.
Obstetrics-gynecology
OB-GYNs have some of the highest medical malpractice insurance rates because of the potential high-risk nature of their practices. When these doctors make errors, the results can be catastrophic. OB-GYN cases include birth injuries, fertility cases and general gynecologic surgery.
