Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers LLP

Daniela M. Pacheco

Year Called to the Bar: 2010

When a patient or family is left with a devastating outcome after medical care, it is natural to have difficult questions. Medical malpractice claims are complex because not every poor medical result is caused by negligence. However, when a physician, hospital or health care provider falls below the accepted standard of care and that failure causes harm, injured patients deserve clear answers, accountability and compensation.

Daniela M. Pacheco is an experienced Toronto medical malpractice lawyer with Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers LLP. Her practice is dedicated to plaintiff-side medical malpractice and traumatic injury litigation, with a focus on helping patients and families understand what went wrong, whether negligence may have occurred and what legal options may be available.

Daniela represents clients in complex medical negligence claims involving birth injuries, surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, hospital negligence and catastrophic injury. She combines careful legal analysis with a compassionate, client-focused approach for people navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

An Experienced Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Toronto

Medical malpractice cases require a detailed investigation into medical records, treatment decisions, expert opinions and the accepted standard of care. Daniela works to identify whether the care provided fell below what was reasonably expected and whether that failure caused or contributed to the patient’s injury, disability or loss.

As Partner and Head of Medical Malpractice at Neinstein Personal Injury Lawyers LLP, Daniela acts for patients and families in serious and often highly technical claims. She has appeared before the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Appeal, and her work includes complex multi-party medical malpractice trials and appeals.

Daniela assists clients with medical malpractice matters involving:

• Birth injuries and neonatal injuries
• Hypoxic, anoxic and hypoxic ischemic injuries
• Cerebral palsy and brain injury claims
• Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis
• Surgical errors and surgical complications
• Medical record errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Hospital, physician and health care provider negligence
• Stroke, hypoglycemic injury and kernicterus
• Cerebral abscess and spinal abscess
• Infection complications and sepsis-related injuries
• Intracranial hemorrhage and other catastrophic injuries

For many families, a medical malpractice claim is about more than compensation. It is about understanding what happened, protecting a loved one’s future care needs and securing the financial support required after a preventable injury. Daniela works to make the process clearer while advancing each claim with diligence, precision and care.
