Pediatric Injury Types

Infectious Complications

In some circumstances, an undiagnosed or improperly managed infection or illness can lead to sepsis and other complications. We act on behalf of children who have suffered injuries as a result of these complications.

Pediatric Brain Injury

Brain injuries in children may be the result of traumatic or non-traumatic causes. We thoroughly investigate each case to determine whether a lawsuit is possible.

 

Do You Have A Case?

To determine if you have a case, it is important for any lawyer to review the relevant medical records and to consult with experts. If your child has suffered a significant injury and you are concerned about the care provided, call us for a free consultation.

We can help if you...

 

Negligence

If we can prove, with expert evidence, that the healthcare practitioner fell below a reasonable standard of care and caused or contributed to an injury.

 

Long Term Impairment

If the resulting injury is permanent with serious consequences on the injured person's daily life.

We cannot help if you...

 

Minor or Short Term Impairment

Medical errors and negligence almost always cause some pain and suffering to victims and their families. If the resulting injury is not permanent in nature, a formal lawsuit may not be the appropriate route. In these cases, you may wish to contact the relevant Regulator (for example, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario), or the Patient Relations department at the hospital, in order to voice your concerns.

 

Bedside Manner Complaints

Our perception about the quality of healthcare we receive as patients can be dependent on the manner in which it was delivered. If you feel that you were subject to poor bedside manner or even a rude or dismissive attitude, you should contact the Patient Relations department at the hospital in order to voice your concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

It can be difficult to determine whether or not medical negligence has occurred in any given situation. Often, the patient or their family only know that an unexpected outcome has occurred, but they may not know how or why it happened. We can help. We understand the medicine and we know the law. We can review the situation in detail with you and provide you with the guidance necessary to figure out whether there is a basis for a claim in medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has experienced an adverse outcome following medical treatment, contact us at 1.866.212.8068 for a free, no-obligation consultation.

 

We understand that people who are dealing with a serious injury or adverse outcome can be under a great deal of financial pressure, especially if their condition is affecting their ability to work or requires significant care costs. We are willing to act for seriously injured persons or their families on a contingency basis, which means we will be paid on a percentage of recovery basis when your case is settled or once a verdict is obtained at trial. The percentage rate will vary based on the situation, but you will not pay our legal fees during the litigation. We are only paid if we are successful. We will go through all of this information with you in detail before we start working on your case.

 

There is no set timeframe and complex cases can take years to properly prepare for trial. We believe that an early and thorough investigation of all potential claims is the best way of ensuring that your case can be pursued as quickly and efficiently as possible.

N.V. & K.H Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from N.V. and K.H.
"We were referred to Duncan through a relative who happens to be a lawyer and has knowledge of the trauma that we were experiencing at the time. Our daughter was born with a traumatic brain injury at delivery and we were clueless about our options but felt we needed to speak to someone and at least explore different possibilities.

Duncan was the second lawyer we met with but immediately felt he would be the best person to represent us. We could tell from the beginning he had immense medical knowledge because of his many years of experiences as a medical malpractice lawyer and we connected with Duncan as a person and a parent; he was very personable.

Throughout the four-year journey we embarked on Duncan became more of a family member than a just a lawyer. It was an extremely complex process that needed not only legal expertise but also leadership and Duncan always put our family first. One of the most important attributes that Duncan possesses outside of his legal skills is his ability to understand our family dynamics and keep us informed at every step of the way.

This case was literally our life for over four years. The stress was absolutely enormous and Duncan advocated for us as if he was advocating for his own family. Too many times he had to deal with not only an impossibly frustrating defense counsel but also our short tempers, frustrations and fears. He balanced all this and kept us focused on what was important while he took care of the legal process, which he knew inside out. My wife and I would reassure ourselves that we trust Duncan and his amazing team and that literally got us through some very trying times.

In the end Duncan not only got us the result that was needed and deserved but he did so with putting our family first and in our fragile mental and emotional state we could not have asked for anything more. It's great to know that we now have the ability to take care of our daughter and her future needs.

I would recommend Duncan without even a moment's hesitation to anyone that needs expert legal advice and guidance. He is Master of his craft and truly cares about the families he represents."
 
C.R. Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from C.R.
"In 2010, I met Duncan for the first time with my wife. He explained to me that he had reviewed all the information I had sent to his firm and he said he couldn't believe what he was reading. With that he looked at me and said he would like to help me, because there is a good cause for legal action. So he took the case and things started moving along. The ordeal took many years but we eventually closed the case.

During that period, I spent a lot of time with Daniela and a lot of time with Duncan. They came to my home many times to go over things with me and my wife; they took care of the whole legal process for me.

I feel that after 5 years we have more than a professional connection; we developed a strong friendship. I feel more than just a client; I feel like they care about me, my family and my welfare. The way he talks about his clients is very endearing. He is a very compassionate man and he remembers all details about his clients which is very reassuring. You couldn't ask for two people to represent you better than what they did. They just don't exist. Over all those months, that I went through the discovery, pre-trial and trial other lawyers would come up to me and say "You are a fortunate man, Duncan is one of the best lawyers you are ever going to get" and that wasn't just one time, it was several times that other lawyers came up and told me that. I always felt very confident in working with Duncan. He changed my life for the better and for that I am so grateful."

I assure you that you're case will be well taken care of. Thank you Erik and Neinstein."
 
Anna S. Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from Anna S.
"Duncan Embury and Sonia Nijjar at Neinstien helped us through one of the most difficult and vulnerable times of our lives. We were impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness to our needs as well as their compassion for our situation. They earned our trust with their hard work and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others."
 
Rathini S. Medical Malpractice Lawyer Testimonial from Rathini S.
"We went through a difficult time due to medical negligence at a Toronto hospital. We approached several law firms with no success. They were simply not interested in taking up our case. When we called Duncan at Neinstein LLP, he immediately made an appointment to come and see us. The meeting with Duncan gave us strength and hope to pursue justice. We immediately felt that we were not alone. Duncan, Sonia and the team were everything that we wished for and beyond. They were very professional, punctual, and compassionate. We thank them wholeheartedly and wish them all the best."

"Duncan and Sonia met my family at a time where we were dealing with very difficult circumstances and couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. They took on our complex case and fought for us tooth and nail until they sought justice for us! We are so incredibly grateful for their perseverance and grace. We couldn't have gotten through it without them. Thank you."
