Medical Malpractice Lawyers | Servicing Toronto and all of Ontario

To demonstrate that your health care provider was negligent in delivering treatment to you, you must be able to show two things: 1) that they violated the standard of care, and 2) that the violation resulted in the harm or damage in issue - this is known as "causation" in the legal world.

You must show that the care and treatment supplied fell below the widely recognized standards of a similarly competent practitioner delivering the same treatment to establish a violation of the standard of care. Every medical profession has its own standard of care. A family physician, for example, is subject to a different level of care than a general surgeon. It's vital to understand that the standard of care isn't perfection or the greatest care possible; rather, it's the minimum that a medical provider must meet.

Expert evidence is required to determine the standard of care relevant to certain healthcare professionals and whether the standard was broken. We enlist the expertise of top medical specialists to estimate the possibility of a breach so that we can establish it in court.

Because medical therapy is complicated and may include several healthcare professionals, proving causation is frequently the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Furthermore, since you first sought medical advice because of a health problem, proving that your damage was caused by medical malpractice rather than the original health problem might be challenging.

Your case is likely to prevail if you can establish that a health care provider's violation of the standard of care caused the injury or damage in the issue.
