Medicine carries risk that no amount of care removes, so the law does not ask whether your treatment went badly. It asks whether the care you received fell below the standard of a reasonably competent practitioner<\/a> in the same circumstances, and whether that failure is what caused your injury. Both halves have to be proved. A serious complication after careful treatment is a tragedy without being a claim.<\/p>

That is why an honest first assessment matters more here than in most areas of law. These claims are expensive to run, they rely on expert opinion from a physician in the same specialty, and they sit within the firm’s wider personal injury practice<\/a>, and they are defended by the Canadian Medical Protective Association<\/a>, which funds the defence of physicians across the country. A weak case helps nobody.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What a claim has to prove<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Four things, in order. That the practitioner owed you a duty of care, which is rarely in dispute. That the care fell below the accepted standard, which needs a supportive opinion from an expert in the same field. That the failure caused your injury, which is where most claims are won or lost, because a poor outcome that would have happened anyway is not compensable. And that the injury produced real losses.<\/p>

Causation is the hard part. It is not enough that something was done badly. It has to be shown that proper care would have changed what happened to you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
