In Ontario, you can sue for medical malpractice, which means an at-fault person can be held liable to compensate you for the losses you suffer because of their negligence.
The money you can get from the court for your injuries is called damages. There are two kinds of damages: pecuniary and non-pecuniary. Pecuniary damages are things like lost income now and in the future, and costs of care you’ll need because of the injury. Non-pecuniary damages are for the pain and suffering you go through because of the injury. The court awards both types to try to make up for what you lost or went through.
You can only recover the amounts you have lost or are likely to lose in the future. Even if you can show that the healthcare practitioner’s negligence caused your injuries, your claim can only be worth as much as you might be proven at trial. Because medical malpractice lawsuits are usually challenging, as well as expensive and time-consuming, in some cases, the potential compensation can be too small to make suing your doctor the prudent choice.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are complex, relying upon extremely technical evidence. It can take many years to prepare a winning case. Also, the Ontario Medical Association (OMA), the organization responsible for protecting the integrity of the profession, fully investigates each legal claim against its members and will resolutely defend any lawsuit when it does not believe that medical negligence was the cause of your injuries. Because of these factors, if you or a loved one has suffered injuries that could have been caused by medical malpractice, it is essential to discuss your case with an experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate personal injury law firm. At Campisi LLP, we take the time to explain a reasonable range of damages you could recover before you make the best decision for you and your family.
The steps you take after an injury due to medical negligence can impact the outcome if you seek legal recourse.
In Ontario, medical malpractice happens when a healthcare practitioner fails to meet the standard of care expected of them based on their training, experience, and other factors, causing harm or injury to the patient. To succeed in a negligence lawsuit against your healthcare practitioner, you must establish all the following:
After the initial determination of medical malpractice, we recommend that you follow these steps:
In Ontario, you generally have two years from the date of injury to start a lawsuit. There are limited exceptions to this rule, including the legal principle of discoverability.
Discoverability means the two-year limitation period usually begins on the date you knew, or reasonably should have known, that you had grounds for a claim against the negligent party. If you suspect you have been harmed due to medical malpractice, it’s important to speak with a personal injury lawyer experienced in complex professional negligence claims as soon as possible.
We'll thoroughly evaluate your accident claim, determine its strength, and clearly explain your legal rights and potential compensation options.
You'll receive a detailed roadmap of your case timeline, key milestones, and our proven approach to maximize your settlement or court award.
You'll leave with actionable advice and clear direction, whether we can take your case or not.
Available seven days a week. We’ll meet you wherever works best: in person, online, or by phone.
