Paul Mann Professional Corporation

Frequently asked questions

What kind of cases does Paul Mann Professional Corporation take on?

The firm focuses on medical negligence, representing patients who say they were harmed by physicians, nurses, hospitals, midwives, or pharmacists. It also handles other serious injury claims, including car collisions, injuries caused by poorly maintained property, and municipal negligence.

Does the firm handle medical malpractice claims from outside the Cambridge area?

Yes. It runs a province-wide medical negligence practice and represents clients from across Ontario, meeting by phone and video when that's easier than travelling to Cambridge.

How does the firm build a medical malpractice case?

These cases turn on medical evidence, so the firm works with outside specialists at hospitals in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom to review what happened, and it uses document-analysis technology to organize the large volumes of records the files produce.

How are legal fees handled?

Most work is done under a contingency fee agreement, so legal fees come out of a successful result rather than being paid up front. For medical malpractice actions the firm caps its contingency fee at 33.33%, and clients cover the case disbursements.

Can another lawyer refer a case or work with the firm as co-counsel?

Yes. The firm welcomes referrals and co-counsel arrangements on medical malpractice and catastrophic injury matters.
