Medical Malpractice
A visit to the hospital or to the doctor can be a nerve-racking experience. But when a medical error or a doctor’s negligence causes an injury, the pain and confusion associated with your injuries can be overwhelming.
All healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, alternative healthcare practitioners, and hospitals have a legal duty to provide proper medical care to patients. Medical malpractice is professional negligence by a health care provider that causes injury. Negligence has occurred when health care professionals failed to provide care that meets the standard of care that any reasonable doctor or healthcare provider would give in similar circumstances.
In order to establish a successful medical malpractice claim, you will not only need to prove that negligence has occurred, but you will also have to show that the negligence is the cause of the injury. In the case of an illness, you must show that treatment from a non-negligent provider would have resulted in a different outcome compared to the negligent treatment you may have received.
Many Canadians who are victims of medical malpractice fail to realize that their injuries are the result of negligence by their health care provider or they do not bother to make a justified claim because they believe that receiving compensation for their injuries will be too difficult.
