Representing Victims of Medical Malpractice Across Ontario
The Media category collects press coverage, published commentary, podcast appearances, speaking engagements, and other third-party media in which Paul Cahill has appeared, contributed, or been quoted on medical malpractice issues in Ontario. Each post identifies the outlet, the date, and the topic, with a link to the original where available and an excerpt or summary where the source is paywalled or has since gone offline.
Media appearances in medical malpractice law typically address one of three subject areas. The first is current case law: appellate decisions or trial outcomes that change the landscape of medical malpractice litigation in Ontario and warrant commentary from practitioners. The second is policy: hallway medicine, wait times, ER overcrowding, physician supply, regulatory reform, and the public-interest issues that surround clinical error in the Ontario health system. The third is specific cases of public interest: high-profile discipline decisions, class actions, and notable settlements or verdicts.
The Media category complements the substantive analysis posted under the other content categories on this site. The same lawyer who comments here on a Court of Appeal decision may also have appeared in The Lawyer’s Daily, on CTV News, or in a podcast discussing the same issue. The Media archive collects those appearances in one place for readers, journalists, and clients who want to assess the firm’s voice in the broader conversation about medical malpractice in Ontario.
