As Canadians, we place deep trust in our public healthcare system. We rely on our physicians, nurses, and emergency care workers to use their expertise and compassion when we are at our most vulnerable. While most healthcare professionals uphold high standards of care, mistakes and negligence can—and do—happen.
When a medical professional or institution fails to meet the expected standard of care, the consequences can be devastating, leading to permanent injury or even wrongful death. These outcomes may leave patients and their families dealing with significant physical, emotional, and financial burdens.
Medical malpractice—also known as medical negligence—occurs when a healthcare provider fails to deliver care that meets accepted standards, resulting in harm to the patient. Examples of medical malpractice include:
Failure to diagnose a medical condition
Surgical or anesthesia errors
Lack of informed consent for a medical procedure
Improper treatment after a correct diagnosis
Misuse of medications, devices, or implants
To bring forward a successful medical malpractice claim, it must be shown that:
The healthcare provider breached the standard of care
This breach directly caused injury, pain, or suffering
The injury led to significant damages (e.g., prolonged recovery, loss of income, future care needs)
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to a medical error or act of negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, loss of income, and ongoing care.
Medical malpractice cases are often complex and highly individualized. Success requires a deep understanding of both medical and legal standards.

Long-Term Disability insurance provides financial support to individuals who are unable to work for an extended period due to illness or injury. It helps cover a portion of your lost income during your recovery.
To qualify for LTD benefits, you generally need to have a medical condition that prevents you from performing the essential duties of your job. You must also meet any specific requirements outlined in your insurance policy, such as waiting periods and providing medical documentation.
LTD insurance typically covers a wide range of medical conditions, including physical injuries, chronic illnesses, mental health disorders, and serious diseases. It's important to review your policy for specific coverage details.
The duration of LTD benefits depends on your insurance policy. Some policies provide benefits until you reach a certain age (e.g., 65), while others may have a set time limit (e.g., two years). Your policy will specify the maximum benefit period.
If your LTD claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. It's important to review the denial letter carefully, gather additional medical evidence, and consider seeking legal advice to help strengthen your case and navigate the appeals process.
