Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional, including a physician, dentist, chiropractor, hospital staff or any health professional, fails to provide appropriate medical treatment to a patient. Our litigation group has extensive experience in assessing and prosecuting medical malpractice claims.

At SorbaraLaw, we understand that malpractice suits are inherently complex and emotionally draining for those involved. That is why our first step in a malpractice action is to evaluate your case. This evaluation includes obtaining all relevant medical records surrounding your treatment, evaluating those records and providing them to appropriate medical experts who provide an opinion on the merits of your case. In order to succeed with a malpractice action, you must show that a health care provider failed to perform to the appropriate standard and that this failure caused your injury. This initial investigation is essential because we do not recommend proceeding unless you have a favourable case.

We understand that, when you have been injured, funding litigation can be difficult. We normally ask that you pay for the initial evaluation and the fees charged by our experts. If we recommend that you proceed with a case and you cannot afford to fund the litigation, we are prepared to enter into a contingency agreement, which means our fees are tied to the result we achieve. If we do not recover any monies on your behalf, you will not be required to pay our fees.

If you suspect that you have received substandard treatment from a doctor, nurse or health care provider and that the substandard treatment has caused you an injury, SorbaraLaw can assist you in obtaining fair compensation for the injuries and losses you have sustained.
