The Best Personal Injury Lawyers in Montreal

Have you been injured in a public place where there was a risk of danger without sufficient indication of the risk or information on taking this risk? Have you suffered bodily injury from a staircase or balcony that collapsed? Our firm will represent you in obtaining fair compensation for your bodily, moral, material or financial damages, particularly in cases involving accidents, disputes between neighbors or the interpretation of contracts.

Civil liability is based on the fundamental principle of the obligation to repair the damage caused by a wrongful act or negligence. Our firm will assess the damage you have suffered due to the fault or negligence of others in order to ensure fair compensation . We will defend your rights and claim the fair amounts to which you are entitled against those who have caused you harm. We offer you a percentage agreement in most of our civil liability files.

We win together or we lose together. So you don’t pay attorney fees; however, be aware that you must assume the costs of court, formal notice, bailiff and expertise. A problem can arise when symptoms appear a few months after the accident and no mention had been made at the time of the accident. It is therefore important to mention all of your symptoms at the time of an accident and to document your medical file as much as possible .

Our firm will advise you on all your rights and guide you through the entire legal process to claim against the culprit the compensation to which you are entitled for your physical, moral or pecuniary damages. We accept in the majority of our cases a percentage agreement , that is to say an agreement based on the amount that will be collected from the opposing party.

We are a legal services organization that provides its services in the context of a well-defined social commitment. Our professional practice aims to ensure and promote: accessibility to health care; the quality of health care; health care safety. Our commitment also aims to defend, respect and promote the rights of all users of the health care system who believe they have been victims of a medical or hospital error. We also regularly represent vulnerable people in the healthcare system.

By specializing in medical liability, we have sought to improve and promote access to the legal system for citizens who are victims of medical or hospital errors by controlling costs and developing the effectiveness of these remedies.

Accidents can be both physically and financially devastating. When another party’s negligence has caused you to suffer from a financial or physical loss, Canadian law allows you to recover funds so you can be “made whole” again, or made as close to whole as financial compensation can allow. Pursuing a personal injury case can mean getting help with your medical bills, recovering lost wages and earning capacity, and receiving compensation for the pain and suffering you’ve been through. It can also mean receiving punitive damages when the other party has acted in a grossly negligent or otherwise reprehensible fashion.

Personal injury cases are complex. Each side is trying to prove the other was primarily the cause of the accident. If the defendant can prove you were the primary reason why the accident happened then they, or more often, their insurance company, won’t have to pay. Failing that, in some provinces, they will try to prove you shared a percentage of negligence, since they can reduce your award amount by that percentage.

This means after you file a claim there is an extensive process of discovery and investigation that takes place, during which we’re helping to nail down the facts of the case. Once you’ve reached maximum medical improvement it’s possible to calculate the full extent of your damages. We then use your actual loss and the facts of the case to support our position in a settlement conference. 92% of the time, cases settle out of court.

When purchasing or using products or services, visiting commercial or residential locations, or interacting with others in various circumstances, we all expect to remain safe and secure.

Your status at the time of the accident is very important because it will be used to determine the type of benefits to which you are entitled, the amounts that will be paid to you and the period of benefits. For 30 years, we have been guiding and supporting people in their efforts. We call on a team of medical experts who can support you when it’s time to refute the SAAQ’s evidence. All Quebecers can be compensated for bodily injury resulting from a road accident, regardless of who is responsible, anywhere in the world.

Non-residents injured in a road accident in Quebec will be compensated in proportion to their liability, unless otherwise agreed with the authorities of their place of residence. Backed by 30 years of experience, our team of lawyers and experts is committed to helping you get through this difficult situation by claiming for you everything that the Act respecting accidents at work and occupational diseases provides for in order to protect your rights, your future.

The processing and follow-up of a file require a great deal of commitment and diligence. And we know that it is very difficult to have the energy to defend your rights when you are physically injured, psychologically exhausted and financially restricted. This is why we offer you our help in order to accompany you and guide you in your steps.

In Quebec, when a person is the victim of a criminal act, if he did not participate in it or if he dies as a result of his injuries, his dependents can take advantage of the IVAC compensation plan and benefit from the compensation provided. The claim for benefits must be filed within one year for crimes committed before May 23, 2013, or within two years for crimes committed after that date.

We have persuaded judges to award some of the highest child support awards ever granted, render precedent-setting decisions in matters as diverse as international kidnapping, animal welfare rights and the interpretation of religious marriage contracts, as well as help establish the legal recognition of common-law spouses and the right of same-sex couples to marry. The best advocacy shoots from the heart before it gets to the mind.

Mastering this link is the stuff great lawyers are made of. This is why we seek out and encourage lawyers who cultivate their passions, train mind to follow heart and put the whole to the service of those in need. Trust and empathy are the pillars of every solid attorney-client relationship. Regularly maintaining them ensures the best representation.

This is why we strive to build a full, frank and honest professional relationship with each client and represent them like we would a close friend. Passion and compassion are nothing without a firm intention to arrive at a desired outcome. At every stage, advocacy is an adversarial process, a clash of different interests. This is why we drill ourselves to be perpetually poised for war when it is necessary and yet primed for peace when it is possible.
