Domenic Crolla and Maureen Murphy, partners at Gowling WLG, have co-authored Medical Liability in Canada, a comprehensive new legal resource examining the principles, complexities, and practical realities of medical liability litigation across the country.

Published by Emond, the book brings together leading defence and plaintiff counsel to offer a balanced examination of Canadian medical liability law, including standards of care, informed consent, causation, damages, and litigation strategies. It also explores specialized issues, from medical assistance in dying and mental health law to medical record keeping and wrongful birth claims.

The publication builds on Gowling WLG's decades experience in medical defence and health law, reflecting the firm's longstanding commitment to protecting healthcare professionals and organizations while contributing to the development of medical liability law and practice in Canada.
