How to Know if You Have a Valid Medical Malpractice Claim in Nova Scotia?

Transcript:

Medical malpractice cases are vigorously defended in Canada, and the insurers of doctors in particular put a strict onus of proof on patients who allege medical negligence to prove it. And in Canada that requires you to overarchingly prove 3 things.

You have to prove that, you know, that the medical professional breached the standard of care. That means that he or she operated in a way or did something that no other reasonable doctor in his or her shoes would have done or wouldn’t have done.

Next, you have to prove causation, you have to prove the breach caused damages, and, you know, 2 out of 3 isn’t going to make a successful medical malpractice case, you need 3 out of 3.

You cannot win a medical malpractice case in Canada without expert opinions, and we work with medical experts from across Canada, really, really highly qualified people, and we connect patients in need with those experts and we work with them to get the opinions needed to get patients the compensation they deserve.
