Under Ontario law, a legal claim for medical malpractice arises when a patient is injured by medical care that is not within the accepted standards of medical practice in the same or similar communities.

These claims can arise from negligence on the part of physicians, home health care personnel, members of a hospital staff such as nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians and others. Malpractice claims can also arise from negligence of managed care organizations (nursing homes, retirement homes) and their employees.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that people become ill. Not everyone gets better.

At Greg Monforton and Partners, we feel that we owe it to our clients and the medical community to have potential claims reviewed by experts who are both impartial and highly qualified. We ask the best experts from Ontario and throughout North America to tell us whether or not a tragic outcome was related to medical negligence.

Since 1981, members of our firm have worked to develop a bank of highly qualified experts who are willing to review potential medical malpractice claims and provide impartial opinions.

We pride ourselves on obtaining excellent experts and respecting their opinions. It is in no one's best interest to file a claim for medical malpractice simply because there has been an unfortunate outcome in a medical setting.
