Self-represented plaintiffs brought a medical malpractice action arising from the care and treatment of their son at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre in November 2009.
The defendants brought motions for summary judgment to dismiss the claims against Dr. Jagger, Dr. Nigro, and the Hospital on the basis that the plaintiffs had no expert evidence to support allegations of negligence.
The court granted the motions, finding that the plaintiffs failed to provide expert evidence establishing the standard of care, breach of that standard, and causation.
The court awarded costs to the successful defendants.
