Medical malpractice is an intricate branch of personal injury law that requires extensive knowledge and legal expertise. As such, victims often believe that they cannot win their case. If you feel as though your healthcare practitioner has not provided you with a duty of care that is standard, you must bring the issue to our medical malpractice lawyers in Hamilton. You and your loved ones do not deserve to suffer from a damaging or fatal mistake.

Examples of medical malpractice claims include:

Surgical Errors
Administration Errors
Medication Prescription Errors
Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis
Pregnancy or Childbirth Negligence
Absence of Informed Consent
Refusal to Provide Care Based on Discrimination

Why DWA Lawyers for Medical Malpractice Cases?

Healthcare professionals, though experienced and trusted, are still human and can make mistakes, whether they are your surgeon, midwife, or chiropractor. When that happens and personal injuries result, we’re here to represent you and take action against errors, negligence, and malpractice. As we investigate your case, a DWA medical malpractice lawyer will strive to prove that your medical professional’s actions resulted in:

Disability
Continual Pain and/or Suffering
Substantial Loss of Income and/or Hardship

Note: If the category of pain and suffering applies to your personal injury claim, there is a retribution limit of $350,000. However, extreme medical malpractice lawsuits and cases that fall under other categories may qualify for higher amounts of financial retribution.

Duty of Care

When you seek medical attention from a practitioner or establishment, they have a duty of care towards you. In other words, they are legally bound to potentially not cause you harm, either through acts or omissions.

Medical negligence is divided into different categories:

Breaches of Duty: An individual acted recklessly or neglectfully towards another person when providing standard care.
Causation: This is the act of an individual causing harm when they should have known the outcome.
Damages: These are the results of an individual’s negligent actions.

No matter what type of malpractice situation you have experienced, a personal injury lawyer in Hamilton can tell you if your medical malpractice claim is worth pursuing. When you come in for a consultation, we will explain how personal injury cases usually unfold in detail.

Insurance Company Policies

In Ontario, liability is determined using methods that can affect the amount of compensation you receive. Additionally, the type of claim filed will determine which method is used for assessing fault. Car insurance policies have:

Third-Party Liability Coverage:

When a tort claim is filed, the damages by another party are covered. Examples of other parties can include cyclists or pedestrians, and are not limited to other drivers.

Direct Compensation-Property Damage (DC-PD) Coverage:

You will receive direct compensation from your insurance company when another driver is at fault. It saves you from waiting for the other driver’s insurance company and suing the other driver. The Ontario Insurance Act provides Fault Determination rules that lay out a list of situations which demonstrate who is the party at fault.

Note: Every Ontario driver is entitled to statutory accident benefits that are found on their car insurance policy, which include medical, income replacement, and attendant care.

We’ll Get You Answers

Accidents are traumatic experiences that happen in a flash. They can leave people questioning everything. People often wonder why the wrongful death of a family member occurred or what happened to cause the car accident.

Questions like these can be a burden that’s just as difficult to bear as the resultant injuries. Maybe the other driver experienced a medical issue. Maybe you were distracted while having an intense conversation. Or maybe someone’s car malfunctioned.

Working with DWA car accident lawyers ensures that you will get answers, accident benefits, and closure. We analyze the car accident from multiple angles to piece together a complete picture.
