鈥淥ur job is to improve access to the justice system for those who are unable to access it. Our聽combined extensive expertise in malpractice law focuses on helping our clients obtain much needed compensation to get their lives back on track,鈥 says Bogoroch. Medical malpractice can聽result in personal injuries arising from a broad array of causes which include misdiagnosis,聽delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medical record errors, prescription medication errors, birth trauma, and other forms of negligent care. For example, these injuries can be illustrated as聽symptoms of a stroke not identified in a timely manner, an existing chronic illness not being managed properly or even having one medical condition mixed up with another.
鈥淪ome people may not know that they have even been a victim. The best thing to do is ask, there may have been a mistake. If in doubt, it鈥檚 prudent to seek legal advice to determine whether it is an acceptable error in judgment by the health provider or a more serious breach of the standard of care where compensation is a possibility,鈥 says Brown.

To determine if there is a meritorious medical malpractice case, the at聽Bogoroch gather the medical evidence and obtain preliminary opinions from highly qualified experts in the medical field. A breach in the standard of care 鈥 the medically accepted level of treatment - must be established to make a case sustainable.
鈥淭his process is critical to help determine if the case has merit,鈥 adds Bogoroch. Often after our investigation or after the discovery process where the lawyers question the parties under oath about the circumstances of the case, we may determine that there is no realistic pathway to a聽successful outcome and the lawyer鈥檚 job in this instance is to recommend that the lawsuit be dropped. Because cases are taken on a contingency fee basis our clients are not required to pay聽us anything while we are acting as their lawyers. The key is to have lawyers who can assess the case at every stage of the litigation process to assess the likelihood of success at trial.
The Bogoroch firm prides itself on moving cases quickly through the justice system, which is especially important these days due to the pandemic backlog of cases. Cases are taking longer to get to trial.
鈥淏ecause there is a two-year limit to file a claim for a personal injury from when you knew or聽ought to have known of the alleged negligence, it鈥檚 critical to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after the occurrence, whether it鈥檚 due to an automobile accident or a suspected malpractice suit,鈥 says Brown.
The firm鈥檚 large infrastructure ensures clients receive excellent service. If the Bogoroch firm聽determines the case has merit, it will spend the funds necessary to take the case to trial.聽Furthermore, Bogoroch & Associates does not require that their clients pay anything for聽disbursements or fees and assumes the financial risk of financing the case, which provides their聽clients with tremendous peace of mind.
