Medical Malpractice Lawyers Toronto

Toronto is Canada’s most populous city and its main financial and business centre. The law firm of Sommers & Roth services all of Canada, including the great City of Toronto.

Toronto is known as a ‘city of neighborhoods’, as it’s composed of many distinct neighborhoods, each with a unique character. For example, Toronto’s Kensington Market neighborhood offers an eclectic mix of unique foods and crafts originating from all over the world. One could head to the trendy Queen West neighborhood to visit stores offering the city’s most cutting edge fashion. These are just a couple examples of well-known neighborhoods, however there are hidden gems all over the city.

Toronto is home to many well-known institutions including the University of Toronto, Queen’s Park (Ontario’s provincial legislature), as well as universities and hospitals. As the political and cultural capital of Ontario, it’s easy for one to feel that he or she is at the ‘centre of it all’ while in Toronto.

For a metropolitan city of its size, Toronto is unique in the amount of natural beauty and scenery that can be found within it. Toronto is located directly on Lake Ontario, and includes the Toronto Islands on the lake. Toronto’s other most significant geographical feature is its location at the intersection of 3 rivers – the Humber River, Don River, and Rouge River. Toronto is also home to a series of escarpments, portions of which have been preserved in their natural state. The well-known Scarborough Bluffs are a popular place on an escarpment to enjoy a bit of nature within the city.

In terms of population, Toronto is known as a highly multicultural city. People of many ethnicities and national origins from all over the world are represented. These people arrived in various waves of immigration dating back to Toronto’s founding. Specifically, Toronto is home to many people of East Asian, South Asian, Black, Southeast Asian, Latin American, West Asian, Arab, and African Origin.

Sommers & Roth lawyers are available to assist the diverse population of Toronto in asserting their legal rights in the medical field.

Medical Negligence Litigation in Toronto

Medical malpractice refers to instances where you are affected negatively by a trusted medical professional or provider’s actions.

Even with the world’s highest standards of medical practice, Torontonians still encounter medical malpractice and negligence in their healthcare department. Medical malpractice cases are civil claims against doctors, nurses, hospital workers or others in the medical field for medical neglect. This negligence can be the result or indirect result of errors involving diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or other health management.

Common Examples of Medical Negligence in Toronto?

Medical malpractice can include any or a combination of the following:

• Failure to diagnose or a misdiagnosis;
• Failure to properly read laboratory results or ignoring them;
• Undergoing unnecessary surgery;
• Surgical errors or wrong site surgery;
• Getting prescribed the wrong medication or dosage;
• Too early discharge;
• Inadequate follow-up or aftercare;
• Disregarding patient history or not taking appropriate patient history;
• Failure to properly test;
• Failure to recognize a patient’s symptoms.

In Toronto, healthcare professionals have their legal rights protected by the Canadian Medical Protection Association or the CMPA, a $2 billion organization. On the other hand, patients only have their rights protected if they hire their private legal team. Torontonians looking for justice usually face high financial barriers.

Our Specialized Medical Negligence Practice Areas In Toronto

At Sommers Roth & Elmaleh, our medical malpractice lawyers are committed to litigating Toronto’s most severe personal injury claims. Here are a few examples of areas that we specialize in when it comes to medical malpractice:

Pediatric Malpractice in Toronto

Each year, thousands of young people suffer serious medical injuries or die because of errors made by pediatricians, nurses, and other hospital or healthcare staff. This impacts families who now have to live with these mistakes in the aftermath of a medical error. The loss of a child can be devastating, both emotionally and financially.

Medical Misdiagnosis in Toronto

Medical misdiagnosis falls within the broader category of medical malpractice. While doctors must perform in your best interest, they are still human and can make mistakes. Any incorrect, missed or delayed diagnosis can have horrifyingly devastating impacts on you as well as your family.

Birth Trauma Lawyer in Toronto

Birth trauma is also known as obstetrical negligence or obstetrical malpractice, and at Sommers Roth & Elmaleh, we consider this area to be our sub-specialty. This is because we have litigated countless successful cases and recovered millions of dollars for our clients affected by birth injury due to medical negligence. While thousands of babies are born healthy every year, a small few suffer from injuries related to medical mistakes made by healthcare professionals.

Spina Bifida Lawyers in Toronto

Spina Bifida is a condition which affects your child for the rest of their life. It can cause loss of bladder or bowel control and cognitive issues. Spina Bifida can be detected through ultrasound very early in pregnancy, and once seen, it can be addressed to decrease the conditions mentioned. If you suppose your doctor or other healthcare staff did not take the proper precautions, you might have malpractice litigation.
