Medical Malpractice

Girones Lawyers are experienced lawyers who provide medical malpractice litigation services for people in Ontario, Canada.

First off, what is medical malpractice? Medical malpractice occurs when a person has been injured through the wrongful act of a doctor. The doctor must have performed care that falls below the standard of care resulting in injury, pain, and suffering. The injury may cause the person to be unable to work, causing loss of income and, compounding this, there may be unanticipated long-term treatment costs.

Do You Suspect Medical Malpractice?

If you suspect that you (a family member or friend) is a victim of medical malpractice, it is in your best interest to contact a qualified lawyer immediately, as generally, a suit must be made within two (2) years of the injury date.

Proving medical negligence is complicated. Girones Lawyers consults with medical specialists to find out what happened and whether the doctor performed care that fell below the standard of care. Once the medical specialists give their opinion that the doctor was negligent, Girones Lawyers works with you (the plaintiff) to determine the impact of the injury on your life: pain and suffering, financial loss, future prognosis for recovery, future treatment requirements. All this information helps us to assess your case.
