When medical care causes harm or falls below the standard patients and families were entitled to expect, the consequences can be devastating. A serious medical error may leave a person dealing with pain, permanent injury, lost income, future care needs and unanswered questions about what went wrong.

As a Partner at Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers LLP, Sonia focuses her practice on medical malpractice litigation and mass tort claims, helping clients pursue accountability after preventable medical harm.

Sonia’s approach is careful, compassionate and evidence-driven. She helps clients understand the legal issues involved in a medical negligence claim, works to identify the medical evidence required, and provides steady guidance through a process that can be emotionally and legally complex.

An Experienced Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Mississauga

Medical malpractice claims are highly technical. They often require detailed medical record review, expert opinions, causation analysis and a clear understanding of how a healthcare provider’s conduct may have fallen below the expected standard of care. Sonia helps clients and families navigate these issues with focus and sensitivity.

Sonia’s work includes cases involving birth injuries and other claims where negligence by a doctor, nurse, hospital, dentist, healthcare professional or medical facility is alleged to have caused serious harm. This may include delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, surgical complications, medication errors, obstetrical negligence, hospital negligence and failures to provide timely and appropriate care.

As a medical malpractice and mass tort lawyer, Sonia also brings a broader understanding of complex litigation and claims involving groups of people harmed by negligence or unsafe products. Her work is rooted in patient safety, accountability and the belief that the legal and medical systems can work better together to improve quality of care.

Sonia assists clients with medical malpractice matters involving:

• Obstetrical negligence
• Birth injuries and birth trauma
• Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis
• Surgical negligence and surgical complications
• Medication errors

• Hospital negligence
• Dental malpractice
• Anoxic and hypoxic injuries

For patients and families, a medical malpractice claim may help recover compensation for future care costs, pain and suffering, income loss, medical expenses and other damages connected to negligent care.
