British Columbia Medical Malpractice and Birth Injury Representation
When a birth injury occurs the consequences are often devastating and life altering for both the infant and the rest of the family. The catastrophic events that led to these injuries can have multiple causes, but many are the result of preventable errors and negligence on the part of doctors, nurses and other delivery room personnel.
At Pacific Medical Law, we have extensive experience in litigating birth injury cases caused by medical malpractice. We also have access to leading experts in this field. These cases can involve extremely complex medical issues and become very technical.
You need a law firm that has the medical knowledge required to investigate and understand the nature of your child's injuries, and the advocacy and legal skills to present your case. At Pacific Medical Law we have the specialized medical knowledge and advocacy skills and the legal skills that you need.

British Columbia law prescribes the length of time a person has in which to file a personal injury case (including a malpractice case). There are ultimate limitation dates for suing doctors and hospitals and special rules for minors (people under the age of 19) and people with mental disabilities. The law relating to limitation periods is complicated, and it is important to speak with a lawyer to understand your rights.
