Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice

Personal injury covers a broad range of situations, from automobile accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and product malfunctions.  All of these are characterized by some form of wrongful bodily injury to the individual.

  If you have been injured in a wrongful manner, whatever the cause, you have the right to seek compensation for that injury.  Our lawyers are experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of personal injury law and are aggressive advocates on behalf of our clients.  We will pursue your personal injury claim quickly, efficiently and on a cost effective basis.

We recognize that pursuing a claim can be expensive.  We assist with your disbursements, and we can often take your personal injury claim on a contingency basis, which means that we do not get paid until you get paid.  McConnan Bion provides an initial free, no obligation consultation as well as home and hospital visits, if necessary.

Medical Malpractice

If you are dealing with an injury resulting from a possible case of medical malpractice, you need a lawyer with the resources and experience to take on your claim. Medical malpractice is an extremely complex area of law. Claimants are required to meet a high burden of proof, and expert evidence is often required to support a claim for medical negligence.

Our lawyers can review your case and provide you with a pragmatic and realistic assessment of your options. If litigation is the right course for you, we have strong relationships with qualified experts who can provide an unbiased opinion on your case. Our lawyers will advocate aggressively for your interests at every stage of the process, and are equally comfortable representing you in mediation or at trial.

We also understand that litigation is expensive.  Depending on the facts of your case, we may be able to take your case on a contingency basis – meaning we don’t get paid until you get paid.

We can assist with claims involving:

  • Incorrect or delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical or anaesthetic errors
  • Negligent post-operative care
  • Errors in prescribing or administering medication
  • Negligent care by dentists or dental specialists
  • Injuries inflicted in the course of care by chiropractors or physiotherapists
  • Injuries caused by negligent care before, during, or after birth

Contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. If you can’t come to us, we’ll come to you – we make home and hospital visits when necessary.
