Medical malpractice litigation is highly complex and vigorously defended. Our team of experienced lawyers, led by Paul Cahill, will provide you with individualized representation tailored to your specific case. 

Our medical malpractice team is available to offer guidance and insights into the complaint process with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and other regulated healthcare professionals.

We will work tirelessly to ensure that you achieve a successful legal outcome for your medical malpractice claim.

We Offer Competitive Contingency Fee Representation

We believe that everyone should have access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.

We offer competitive sliding scale contingency fee representation for medical malpractice claims, which means:

  • you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case
  • the earlier your case settles, the less you pay in legal fees, and
  • if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything, not even disbursements

Given the cost and complexity of medical malpractice litigation, only select matters will be offered contingency fee agreements.

I am extremely grateful to the entire team at Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP for their professionalism, dedication, and support throughout my case. I suffered a severe injury as a result of the poor condition of a city sidewalk, and navigating a case like this was something I had never experienced before. From the very beginning, the team guided us through the entire process, explained everything clearly, and made sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. Their professionalism, preparation, and attention to detail truly stood out. They did an excellent job gathering and organizing all the evidence, and because everything was so thoroughly prepared and presented, my case was resolved at an early stage. I cannot thank Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP enough for everything they did for me and my family. I truly appreciate the hard work, compassion, and commitment they showed throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs knowledgeable and caring legal representation. Thank you to the entire team for helping me through such a difficult experience and for achieving such a positive resolution to my case. I am truly grateful for everything you did.

Paul Cahill and the team at DCM are a formidable force in all aspects of law. Paul will actively fight for your best interests through exceptional and meticulous advocacy. Having had his guidance with my complex personal injury claim, I can attest to the genuine compassion, empathy and transparency he exemplified to make sure the burden of medical issues and future hardship was shifted into a clear, forthright claim. He established early on that his methodology is preeminent, by the concise medical and legal advice that has been showcased throughout the claim, there has never been a blind sighted moment. Paul truly delivers the notion of full and fair compensation by actively litigating any unfair valuation; his prowess is unmatched, and he will fight till you receive what is just.

As a young, single female I scrimped and saved to buy my dream house. But it turned out to be a lemon and I was financially backed into a corner. The house needs a lot of work and I have exhausted my savings. So legal action had to occur. Through the Law Society of Ontario, I reached out to 35 paralegals and 55 lawyers. None of which could help me. I am so beyond thankful that someone recommended Mr. Morin to me, because not only is he taking my case when NO ONE ELSE would, he is willing to work on contingency. Honestly, I was a little scared at first, having never hired a lawyer before. But Mr. Morin is the nicest person. He set my mind at ease and explained everything thoroughly.

David and Peter We were beyond impressed by the utmost professionalism provided by Mr Morin and Mr Reinitzer, along with all of their staff at the Huntsville location of Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP. They took great care in learning the details of our complicated civil litigation case, organizing a thorough and methodical approach to moving through the many steps required in the process. With combined wisdom and experience, they navigated us through an entirely unfamiliar and difficult multi-week trial with steadfast advocacy. Their hard work and dedication was evident at every point in time, and the ability to separate wheat from chaff, to present a focused narrative to the judge cannot be understated. We would recommend this amazing team without hesitation.

Paul Cahill accepted my case when many other firms were unwilling to take it on from the beginning, he was exceptionally supportive and remained so throughout the entire process. it is clear that this firm takes the time to thoroughly understand each case, genuinely gets to know its clients, and treats every individual with respect and care. I am truly grateful for the remarkable support I received during one of the most difficult times in my life. I never once doubted that I was in the best hands possible.

A professional firm that guides you when you don't know where to turn. I experienced an awful situation in my family. From the beginning the people involved in this firn, offered assistance and guidence. At that time I was unable to think rationally or in a focussed way. Each lawclerk especially Christine Marchment helped with paperwork, collection of data, and my inquiries. My lawyer, Joel Cormier was patient, professional and provided clear communication. At every step in the legal process, I could trust him to help me make the correct decisions, as I was very emotional.

First let me start off by stating Paul Cahill is a professional, he does his best to understand each of his clients and works hard to achieve success. When others did not believe in our case or assumed it was not worth the trouble, he surpassed all expectations. He clearly walks you through the process and supports you on with every choice you make. I believe you have choice, choose the best.
