Of all types of personal injury cases, broadly speaking, medical malpractice cases are easily among the most complex and are often the most egregious and trying for our clients. A missed diagnosis, improper course of treatment, or instance of severe medical negligence can have devastating and often lifelong repercussions, and can even result in wrongful deaths. our medical professionals are supposed to be amongst our most trusted advisors and most highly educated and expert professionals—a status that is bolstered by the fact that the majority of Calgary’s physicians, nurses, and other medical practitioners more than live up to the expectations. This makes it all the more emotionally and psychologically harmful when negligence on the part of a practitioner or institution causes us significant injury.
Especially when you are suffering from persistent and possibly prolonged and worsened medical problems, the added stress of learning that you were mistreated can seem like too much to bear. For some, the prospect of a legal battle to redress the wrongs that were committed and seek equitable compensation for injuries is overwhelming at first. You may not know where to turn for the medical let alone legal assistance you need to truly regain control of your health care, your body, and your life.
