Though the overall quality of medical care available in Canada is very high, health care professionals occasionally provide substandard care to their patients, either through carelessness or incompetence. This is known as medical malpractice, and unfortunate victims risk injury, illness, and even wrongful death as a result. Heidi Louise Bergeron represents medical malpractice victims in the Kingston, Gananoque, Brockville area with genuine concern for their well-being.
Medical malpractice takes place when a medical professional – a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist, for instance – provides care that does not meet the commonly accepted standards for safety and quality. Surgical injuries, medication errors and mistaken diagnoses are examples of medical malpractice that could be grounds for litigation. When any of these cases occurs, the results may be life-threatening to the unsuspecting patient. Preventable medical malpractice may lead to unnecessary delays in treatment, additional injuries, disfigurement, or disability. Many patients will need to undergo longer, more involved treatment, potentially including additional surgeries, longer hospital stays, or extra courses of medication, all because medical professionals made unacceptable mistakes. The risk of injury or death associated with undergoing additional treatment is very real, and more involved treatment will involve added expenses.
These costs should not be borne by the medical malpractice victim. Instead, Heidi Louise Bergeron will litigate aggressively in order to hold medical professionals responsible for their errors.. Our legal team will determine how best to seek repayment if a client has been subjected to undue risk, pain and suffering, injuries or excessive bills due to substandard care.
