Located along the North Saskatchewan River, Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and is situated at the center of the Edmonton Capital Region within Alberta’s central region. A population of 877, 926 people live and work within Edmonton, making it the second-largest city in Alberta and the fifth-largest municipality in the country. The Edmonton metropolitan area is home to a total population of 1,328,300 people, making it the northernmost North American city with over 1 million residents.
Proud of its natural heritage, Edmonton is home to the longest stretch of continuous urban parkland in all of North America, and features the highest level of parkland per capita of any city in Canada. The river valley is over 20 times larger than Central Park in New York City, and houses a huge variety of parks from basic campsites to fully-serviced urban parks, and everything in between. Home to the largest remaining healthy population of American Elms unaffected by Dutch Elm disease, this so-called “Ribbon of Green” is supplemented by a large number of golf courses and winter recreation habitats.
With an economy based heavily around the oil and gas industry, Edmonton is the western hub of the petrochemical industries, and contains the largest gas, oil, and oil sands concentrations outside of Saudi Arabia.

Our Cases in Edmonton
Errors from medical professionals like doctors and nurses can leave patients with life-long injuries. We trust these experts to provide the best care for us and our families, but when their errors result in significant injuries or complications, patients need to know their options. If the patients need additional treatment or support due to their injuries, they should consult a professional medical malpractice lawyer in Edmonton.
Depending on the case and the injuries, a medical malpractice lawyer can help patients get the compensation they need to move on from the injury and live their lives to the fullest.
If you have been harmed because a healthcare worker provided inadequate treatment, misdiagnosed your condition, failed to inform you about the risks involved in your treatment, or simply didn’t offer the necessary care, seeking legal advice is crucial.
At Sommers Roth & Elmaleh, we have decades of experience handling medical malpractice cases in Edmonton and across Canada.

Cerebral Palsy Lawyers in Edmonton
Cerebral Palsy is a condition that occurs in early childhood and can be the result of medical malpractice. Many people believe that it is caused by heredity, whereas, in fact, it is caused by a specific brain injury, which usually occurs at birth. Your doctor or other healthcare professionals may have acted negligently, resulting in this damage.
Hospital Errors in Edmonton
Hospitals are supposed to be spaces where you feel safe and where doctors and other healthcare providers are obligated to act in your best interest. Yet, each year, thousands of patients are injured or otherwise seriously affected by medical errors or negligence.
Those patients and their family members deserve justice when they have been affected by hospital errors or other medical negligence.

Birth trauma can also be known as obstetrical negligence or obstetrical malpractice. At Sommers Roth & Elmaleh, this area is our sub-specialty. This is because we have litigated countless successful cases and were able to recover 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.
