A misdiagnosis, a surgical error, or a delayed treatment can change your life or take a loved one’s. Medical malpractice claims in Ontario require expert medical opinion and face well-funded defence by the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA). Maana Law’s medical malpractice lawyers in Mississauga build the expert evidence and legal strategy needed to win these complex cases.
How can we help
Medical malpractice claims require proving that a healthcare professional breached the standard of care and that this breach caused your injury. Our Mississauga medical malpractice lawyers work with leading medical experts to establish both elements, while opposing the CMPA’s experienced defence teams across Ontario, Brampton, Milton, Oakville, and the wider Peel Region.
We pursue full damages for catastrophic medical injuries including birth injuries, brain damage, spinal cord injuries, and surgical errors. Compensation covers medical care, lost income, future treatment costs, and pain and suffering under Canadian law. Each claim is built around expert medical and economic evidence.
Every medical malpractice claim involves complex medical records, expert opinions, and emotional weight. Maana Law assigns a dedicated medical malpractice attorney in Mississauga to your file who manages all communication with the CMPA, hospital lawyers, and medical experts on your behalf.
Birth Injury Claims Birth injuries including cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and shoulder dystocia can result from negligent prenatal care, delivery mistakes, or delayed caesarean decisions. These cases are among the highest value malpractice claims in Ontario. We work with obstetric experts to build strong birth injury cases for families across Mississauga and the GTA.
Surgical and Anesthesia Errors Wrong-site surgery, retained surgical instruments, anesthesia complications, and post-operative infections from negligence are common surgical malpractice claims. We retain surgical experts who establish how the breach of the standard of care directly caused your injury.
Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis Missed cancer diagnoses, stroke misdiagnoses, and delayed treatment for serious conditions cause some of the most devastating malpractice outcomes. When a treatable condition becomes terminal because of diagnostic delay, the patient and family have a strong claim against the negligent practitioner.
Dental Malpractice Claims Dental malpractice in Ontario includes nerve damage during extractions, defective dental implants, failure to diagnose oral cancer, and improper orthodontic treatment. Dental malpractice claims follow the same legal framework as medical malpractice. Our Mississauga lawyers handle dental negligence cases across the GTA.
How We Work
Medical malpractice claims in Ontario follow a strict two-year limitation period under the Limitations Act, 2002. The process demands medical expert reports, detailed records review, and skilled litigation strategy. Maana Law manages every stage so families can focus on healing.
We review your records, identify the standard of care breach, and assess your malpractice claim threshold: free first consultation.
We obtain complete records, retain medical experts for standard of care opinions, and document every impact on your health, income, and life.
We negotiate with CMPA, hospital insurers, and defence counsel. Ontario malpractice claims settle before trial, but only when you're trial-ready.
If settlement fails, we file in Ontario Superior Court, every case trial-ready from day one so the CMPA knows we won't accept undervalued offers.
Causes and Claims
Failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, and delayed diagnosis are leading causes of medical malpractice claims in Ontario. Cancer, stroke, heart attack, and infection cases are most commonly missed. When a diagnostic error worsens your outcome, our Mississauga medical malpractice attorneys pursue full compensation for the lost treatment window.
Wrong-site surgery, retained foreign objects, anesthesia mistakes, and post-operative infections caused by negligence support strong malpractice claims. Obstetrical surgical errors during caesarean delivery can cause birth injuries including cerebral palsy and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. We retain surgical experts in every case.
Hospital negligence includes nursing errors, monitoring failures, sterilization errors, and improper medical equipment use. Hospitals carry vicarious liability for staff conduct under Ontario law. We pursue both individual nurse and institutional liability to maximize recovery for victims of hospital negligence in Mississauga and across the GTA.
Wrong medication, incorrect dosage, dangerous drug interactions, and pharmacist dispensing errors cause thousands of preventable injuries each year. Liability may rest with the prescribing physician, the pharmacist, or both. Our medical malpractice lawyers identify every responsible party to maximize compensation in medication error cases.
Our Services
A medical malpractice claim in Ontario requires proof of two elements: that the healthcare professional breached the standard of care, and that this breach directly caused your injury. Both must be supported by qualified medical expert opinion. Maana Law retains the right experts from your first consultation.
Breach of the Standard of Care The standard of care is what a reasonable healthcare professional in the same specialty would have done in the same circumstances. We obtain a written opinion from an independent expert in the relevant field who confirms that your doctor, nurse, hospital, or other practitioner fell below that standard. Without this expert opinion, a malpractice claim cannot proceed.
Causation and Injury Even where negligence is clear, you must also prove that the breach caused your specific injury. This is called causation. Many malpractice cases fail not because negligence cannot be shown but because causation is difficult to establish without expert evidence. We build causation evidence using treating physician records, expert reports, and economic damage assessments.
Claim Your Rights
Ontario medical malpractice damages cover both economic losses such as medical costs and lost income, and non-economic losses including pain and suffering. Catastrophic injury cases involving birth injuries, brain damage, or spinal cord injuries can recover substantial future care awards. Our Mississauga malpractice attorneys document every category in your claim.
Recover current and future medical costs including corrective surgery, rehabilitation, specialist treatment, medication, and ongoing care required to manage injuries caused by medical negligence.
Recover full lost income from the date of injury, plus loss of future earning capacity if you cannot return to your previous work. Catastrophic cases use economic expert reports to value lifetime income loss.
Catastrophic medical malpractice cases require lifetime care including home modifications, attendant care, assistive devices, and specialized therapy. We retain future care cost experts to fully document every projected need.
Recover non-economic damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Catastrophic malpractice cases typically reach the Supreme Court of Canada cap on general damages, currently around $430,000.

The Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) defends most Ontario doctors
in malpractice claims. The CMPA is well funded and aggressive in its defence
strategy. Successful claims against CMPA-insured physicians require strong
expert evidence and experienced legal counsel. Maana Law’s malpractice attorneys
prepare every case to CMPA litigation standards.
Most successful malpractice cases in Ontario settle before trial, but only
when the plaintiff is fully prepared to proceed to trial. The CMPA settles
when expert evidence is strong and litigation risk is real. We prepare every
case as if it will go to trial, which produces stronger settlement results.
Catastrophic cases involving birth injuries, brain damage, or spinal cord
injuries can recover several million dollars including future care costs.
Less severe cases typically range from $100,000 to $500,000 depending on
medical impact, income loss, and ongoing care needs. The Supreme Court of
Canada cap on general damages is currently around $430,000.
You can sue both. Hospitals carry vicarious liability for the negligence of
employed staff such as nurses, technicians, and residents. Most attending
physicians are independent contractors covered by the CMPA. We identify every
liable party in your case including hospitals, physicians, nurses, pharmacists,
and other healthcare professionals.
