Specialization = Success
In this highly technical and challenging field, Siskinds has a team of skilled lawyers who specialize in the development and successful litigation of plaintiffs' cases.
Siskinds' approach is to work closely with clients, experts and referring solicitors to develop and assess the case, and communicate the prospects for success every step of the way. A key focus is to ensure that clients understand all the considerations involved in a medical malpractice case.
Medical malpractice cases are always vigorously defended: The Canadian Medical Protective Association has tremendous financial and medical resources; defence lawyers are well trained, well prepared, skilled and tenacious. In turn, Siskinds' specialization in medical malpractice litigation levels the playing field for plaintiffs.
The firm's medical malpractice cases have involved cardiologists, emergency physicians, endocrinologists, family physicians, gastroenterologists, general surgeons, gynecologists, internist, obstetricians, oncologists, orthopaedic surgeons, otolaryngologists, opthalmologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, paediatricians, psychiatrists, radiologists, urologists and hospitals and nurses.
The issues have included, among many others:- missed diagnosis
- unindicated surgery/intervention
- informed consent
- medical mismanagement versus an error in judgement
- surgical negligence versus surgical misadventure
- failure to properly monitor and respond
Siskinds represents plaintiffs throughout the Southwestern Ontario region and from Toronto to Thunder Bay.
