Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Toronto Areas of Focus
Our team is experienced in all areas of medical malpractice. Our main focus areas include birth-related injury, pediatric injury, brain injury, and spinal cord injury.
Birth Injury
"Birth Injury" refers to injury to infants during pregnancy, labor, delivery, or the post-delivery period. The injury often involves the brain. This can be diagnosed soon after birth, or there may be a delay before it is recognized. Birth injuries can lead to permanent disabilities. If you suspect your child may have suffered a birth injury, it is never too late to call us for advice.
Our team of birth injury lawyers frequently acts on behalf of injured children and their families. We understand the stress and uncertainty involved in thinking about your child's future. We work with experts to understand the medicine and how the injury occurred, and what the resulting damages are. Our approach is to find answers and fair compensation, while you remain focused on your child and family.
Brain Injury
Injury to the brain can occur in a variety of ways, and is often devastating. We understand how difficult it is to navigate the consequences of an acquired brain injury. Whether you or your loved one has suffered a stroke, a surgical complication, or any other medical error resulting in brain injury, a brain injury lawyer from Neinstein has the knowledge and experience to help victims secure compensation for their future.
Neinstein works closely with the Ontario Brain Injury Association and other experts in the field to support research and programming.
Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury can occur due to various types of medical error. The injury can occur suddenly as a result of a medical or surgical complication, or it may occur progressively because of a delay in diagnosis of an otherwise treatable issue. The impact of a spinal cord injury is often life-altering. Our team of spinal cord injury lawyers has extensive experience working on behalf of victims of preventable spinal cord injury.
Neinstein is also a proud supporter of Spinal Cord Injury Ontario.
Pediatric Injury
Unfortunately, medical errors do sometimes result in injuries to children. This may be related to a mismanaged infection, a delay in diagnosis, a prescription error, or even a surgical error. The impact of a pediatric injury can be life-altering for both the child and his or her family.
Our team of pediatric injury lawyers understands the importance of carefully reviewing each case so that we can help guide our clients.

If We Don't Get You Compensation, You Don't Have to Pay
Choosing to pursue a medical malpractice claim shouldn't come with financial risks. Our contingency fee structure ensures that if our medical malpractice lawyers in Toronto don't get you compensation, you don't pay legal fees.
Contingency fee, or "no win, no fee", means a percentage of the compensation you receive is paid out as legal fees. It minimizes your financial burden, as you don't have to worry about the uncertainty of hourly legal fees.
The percentage is determined by the complexity and scope of the case. Our medical malpractice lawyers will clearly explain the percentage and any conditions of the fee at the outset, ensuring complete transparency and avoiding any surprises.
Medical Malpractice Lawyer FAQ
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides care that falls below the accepted standard, causing harm or injury. This can include surgical errors, misdiagnoses, medication mistakes, or birth-related injuries. To pursue a claim, you need to demonstrate that the care deviated from standard practices and resulted in damages. Our team of Toronto medical malpractice lawyers can help you assess your case and advise on next steps.
Look for a lawyer with extensive experience in medical malpractice cases, a strong understanding of medical procedures, and a track record of successful outcomes. Medical malpractice lawyers in Toronto should be familiar with local regulations and capable of navigating complex medical evidence. Scheduling a consultation is a good first step to evaluate whether they are the right fit for your specific needs.
After an initial consultation, your lawyer will gather medical records, consult experts, and determine the strength of your case. If the evidence supports your claim, a lawsuit may be filed. The process includes pre-trial negotiations, potential mediation, and possibly a trial. Toronto medical malpractice lawyers can guide you through each stage, ensuring you understand your rights and options.
The duration varies depending on case complexity and the willingness of parties to settle. On average, medical malpractice cases can take a few years. It's crucial to have experienced medical malpractice lawyers near you in Toronto who are prepared for a complex legal process while working towards a timely resolution.
Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life. Our Toronto medical malpractice lawyers strive to secure the full compensation you deserve to aid in your recovery and future well-being.
