Ontario family sues hospital and staff over son’s death

A grieving Ontario family is taking legal action against Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital and its staff after their 12-year-old son, Finlay van der Werken, died following what began as a migraine in February 2024. His mother brought him to the hospital when his condition worsened, but the outcome was tragically irreversible.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another lawsuit—it’s a heartbreaking story about a family’s loss and the questions it raises about medical care. When a child’s death leads to legal action, it forces us to ask: Could this have been prevented? These cases often expose cracks in the healthcare system, whether it’s misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, or other failures. For parents, it’s a chilling reminder of how quickly routine symptoms can turn dire.
