Personal Injury, Wrongful Death and Medical Malpractice

personal injury and wrongful death

We represent clients who have sustained personal injuries from a variety of causes including:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Pedestrian injuries
  
• Construction site mishaps
  
• Falls on unsafe property
  
• Unsafe consumer products
  
  

In each case, we carefully analyze the facts and circumstances and provide advice about proceeding to settlement or through the courts. If the injury results in a wrongful death, we work with the family to determine fault and obtain fair compensation for them.

In dealing with these types of cases, we are also careful to advise our clients of their rights under any policies of insurance that may be in place and which may provide some type of coverage or level of protection. These types of policies can include automobile insurance policies, homeowner policies and employment insurance policies. Often insurance policies will provide partial recovery even before legal proceedings have been resolved.

medical negligence

When a medical professional is negligent and causes an injury to a patient, the results can be tragic and devastating to the patient and his or her family. If the patient becomes permanently disabled, family life can be impacted in many ways: loss of ability to earn income, physical impairment, mental distress as well as pain and suffering. Often the family requires a housekeeper or housekeeping services for a period of time.

These are difficult claims and we are ready to vigorously pursue them on behalf of our clients. We work with experts to determine whether the doctor or other medical professional is at fault, and if that can be determined, we take steps to initiate and prove the claim on behalf of our client. Once a claim is filed, we consult with doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, economists and accountants to help our client and the family understand the value of the services and amenities that have been lost.

We have successfully prosecuted many such claims through the court system and have settled many more with insurance companies.

If the patient dies as a result of medical negligence, we work with the family to determine the extent of their losses, which may include bereavement damages as well as losses related to loss of income, loss of household services and other valuable services performed for the family by the deceased, and out of pocket expenses related to the death.
