Exclusive Focus on Medical Malpractice
Pacific Medical Law is a boutique law firm in Vancouver with a singular focus: representing patients who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to medical negligence. Established in 1981, the firm is one of the few in Canada that practices exclusively in this complex field. Led by Paul McGivern and Susanne Raab, the team possesses the deep medical and legal knowledge necessary to challenge healthcare institutions. Whether dealing with a birth injury or a surgical error, they offer the specialized advocacy required to win. If you need to find a lawyer who understands the medicine as well as the law, Pacific Medical Law is the authority.
Advocating for Birth Injury Victims
The firm is particularly renowned for its work in birth trauma cases, helping families secure the lifetime of care their children need. Their practice areas include:
- Birth Injuries: Representation for cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and shoulder dystocia.
- Surgical Errors: Holding surgeons accountable for mistakes made in the operating room.
- Misdiagnosis: Pursuing claims for delayed or incorrect diagnoses that lead to severe harm.
- Brain and Spinal Injuries: Securing compensation for life-altering neurological damage.
Pacific Medical Law operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless they recover compensation for you. Their team includes lawyers who have previously defended doctors, giving them unique insight into how the other side thinks. This strategic advantage helps them build bulletproof cases for their clients.
