DELAYED DIAGNOSIS MATTER

Delayed Diagnosis at a Health Campus

A 42-year-old parent’s cancer progressed from treatable to terminal due to repeated dismissal of symptoms over 14 months. The health authority maintained that proper assessment procedures were followed. Our Calgary medical malpractice lawyers employed expert testimony under Rule 5.37 of the Alberta Rules of Court to support concerns about failure to order appropriate diagnostic tests. We assisted the client in pursuing a settlement citing the Medical Profession Regulation (Alta Reg 76/2007), which addressed financial security for the client’s dependent children and compensation for shortened life expectancy.

Frequently Asked Questions: Medical Malpractice In Alberta

What is considered medical malpractice in Alberta?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, causing injury to a patient. This includes surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to obtain informed consent. Our medical malpractice lawyers can help assess if your case meets these criteria.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Alberta?
In Alberta, you generally have two years from when you discovered (or reasonably should have discovered) the negligence to file a claim. For minors, the limitation period typically doesn’t begin until they turn 18. Our medical negligence lawyers can provide guidance on a specific situation.
How much can I get for a medical malpractice lawsuit in Alberta?
Compensation varies widely based on the severity of injuries, but can include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs. While pain and suffering damages in Canada are capped at roughly $390,000 (adjusted for inflation), economic losses such as medical costs and lost income are not subject to a statutory cap. Our medical malpractice attorneys fight for maximum compensation.
Do most medical malpractice cases settle or go to trial?
Approximately 95% of medical malpractice cases in Alberta settle before trial. However, having medical negligence lawyers prepared to go to trial can contribute to effective negotiation outcomes. Our approach is to thoroughly prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
