Medical Malpractice Lawsuits in Alberta: A Patient’s Guide

Medical malpractice is thought to be one of the most complicated areas of litigation. The authors of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits in Alberta: A Patient’s Guide understand that if you, or a loved one, have been injured as the result of medical care, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure of your next steps. We wrote this book to demystify medical malpractice law and ensure that patients and their families understand their legal rights.

This book is a consumer education guide designed to explain what medical malpractice is and how a medical malpractice claim is advanced. In this book we explore the litigation process from the first meeting with a lawyer up to the resolution of the claim. It is our hope that this book will provide guidance to patients and families considering litigation and enable them to make informed decisions about whether or not to contact a lawyer.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The lands on which Edmonton sits and the North Saskatchewan River that runs through it have been the sites of natural abundance, ceremony and culture, travel and rest, relationship building, making, and trading for Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. Edmonton is located within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Metis homelands and Metis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations such as the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuline (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Weir Bowen acknowledges the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
