Medical Negligence Litigation in Toronto

Even with the highest standards of medical practice in the world, Torontonians still face medical malpractice and negligence in the healthcare sector. Medical malpractice refers to instances where you are affected negatively by a trusted medical professional or provider’s actions.

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 that involve diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or any other health management.

What are some examples of common 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 do not have their rights protected unless they hire their own private legal team. Torontonians looking for justice are usually faced with high financial barriers. Our team at Sommers Roth & Elmaleh is available to provide legal assistance to help families in Toronto.

We have the experience and knowledge to assist in the following personal injury or medical malpractice claims:

Our Specialized Medical Negligence Practice Areas In Toronto

At Sommers Roth & Elmaleh, our medical malpractice lawyers are committed to litigating the most serious or disastrous personal injury claims in Toronto. The following 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 are obligated to 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 injury 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, as well as cognitive issues. Spina Bifida can be detected through ultrasound very early on in pregnancy, and once detected, it can be addressed to decrease the conditions mentioned. If you suppose that your doctor or other healthcare staff did not take the proper precautions, you might have a medical malpractice litigation on your hands.

Dear Mr Hilik Y. And Jeremy Syrtash. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you and Sommers Roth and Elmaleh Professional Corporation staff for all you have done with respect to my wife case. My wife was a victim of Medical Malpractice after giving birth to our daughter. She become legally disabled both physically and mentally. The entire family devastated emotionally as my wife struggle to cope with the new reality. The case of Medical Malpractice is quite often a complex case to prove. However, due to your strong commitment, knowledge and dedication combined with strong professionalism the case was successfully won after a long arduous fight. The victory would not have been possible without your dedication and thorough research in the implementation of the standards of the Sommers Roth and Elmaleh Professional Corporation. Justice prevailed at last which in turn allowed my vulnerable wife to feel more optimistic about her future and that of our family. The positive outcome of this case has changed our lives forever. It would not have been possible without the excellent representation of Sommers Roth and Elmaleh Professional Corporation and its legal counsel. My wife and I will be deeply grateful for the successful outcome of this case for many years to come. Solomon Regassa

I was in a serious horse accident where the horse was injured and should never have been ridden. The owner of the horse was aware that the horse had chronic arthritis issues and the veterinarians at Guelph had told him the horse could decompensate at any time and could cause serious injury whether being led or ridden and could never be jumped again. The horse had been shown at the grand prix level and the owner had payed quite a bit of money for him. After consulting with several lawyers and having one that did represent me at the discoveries who later quit, Jeremy Syrtash took on the case and followed through with guelph university. That is how we found out that the vets had recommended the above. Without Jeremy's efforts and follow through the case would never have continued on. Because of these efforts the case was successful. Thank you so much Jeremy. You are a dedicated, thorough, excellent lawyer and it's been a pleasure to have you as my lawyer!!
