She helps clients understand the medical and legal questions at the centre of their claim, works with the evidence needed to assess liability and causation, and provides clear guidance throughout the litigation process.

An Experienced Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Toronto

Toronto medical malpractice claims can be challenging because they require both legal analysis and careful review of complex medical issues. To succeed, a claim must generally show that a healthcare provider failed to meet the applicable standard of care and that this failure caused harm. Sonia helps clients understand these issues and determine whether the facts may support a claim.

Her practice includes medical malpractice litigation and mass tort claims, with experience handling matters involving birth trauma, obstetrical negligence, surgical complications, delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, medication errors, nurse negligence, hospital negligence and other serious harms linked to healthcare provider negligence.

Sonia is also involved in broader work connected to patient safety, medical-legal education and healthcare accountability. Her experience includes leadership and service with legal, health and community organizations, as well as speaking and writing on medical-legal issues.

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
• Nurse negligence
• Hospital negligence
• Dental malpractice
• Anoxic and hypoxic injuries
• Pediatric brain injuries
• Cerebral palsy and HIE-related claims
