This month Andrea Girones is presenting at the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association Legal Conference on “Medical Malpractice Trials, Tips and Tricks” for winning these difficult case. In particular she will discuss some of the challenges faced in her successful trial of Rathan v. Scheufler a decision out of the Brampton Courthouse by Justice Emery.
The trial was a four month long, highly contested battle between the Girones firm and two different medical malpractice defence law firms in Ontario. Thankfully the Judge ruled in favor of our young client.
The plaintiff child suffered from a severe and permanent injury to the nerves of her brachial plexus , an condition known as Erb’s Palsy. This injury was, more likely than not, caused by the delivering physician, and left her with an arm that could not grasp nor carry items and made every aspect of her life much more difficult.
You can read the decision here and to speak to our firm about a possible Erb’s palsy or brachial plexus injury, please contact us as soon as possible.
