Medical malpractice litigation differs from other areas of personal injury law because of a heavy evidential burden placed on the plaintiff to  show a medical professional was negligent, the scientific complexity of the evidence, the high cost of expert witnesses, often from many specialties, to prove liability, causation and damages, and aggressive and skilled defense counsel. It is important to examine a law firm’s actual experience and expertise in medical malpractice actions and their ability to cover the high costs of malpractice actions before retaining counsel. We specialize in complex, challenging medical actions and we have  the resources to retain the best expert witnesses throughout North America  in order to maximize the chances of success. The Public Guardian said this about Lemer & Company’s efforts for their client:

“Extensive investigation was required on the liability issues of the accident including the possibility of claims against several tortfeasors and different insurance funds. Mr. Lemer attended team meetings, liaised with ICBC’s Rehabilitation Department and with…care providers to ensure appropriate rehabilitation… Mr. Lemer carried all of the disbursements in this matter without interest and advanced the family a loan without interest to cover part of the cost of a wheelchair van… Mr. Lemer took the risk of carrying those disbursements, and did so without charging interest… In our opinion the skill and experience of… counsel contributed to this positive outcome… Mr. Lemer and his associates achieved a very good result without the necessity of undertaking the stress and risks of a trial.”
