SAAQ lawyers, civil liability and class action in Montreal

In this large island and port metropolis on the St. Lawrence River, all victims of traffic accidents are protected by the public automobile insurance plan: the SAAQ. This coverage allows you to access three different types of benefits (personal injury, psychological and income replacement benefits) in the event of a motor vehicle accident.

Unfortunately, these victims do not always win their case before the SAAQ. Similarly, very few people who are often right manage to come into possession of all their due. Our firm offers solid legal support to all these victims of automobile accidents.

In principle, the law gives you a period of three (3) years to submit your claim to the SAAQ. And when his decision does not meet with your consent, you have up to sixty (60) days to challenge it. In the event that the auditor’s decision causes you to grieve, the law also allows you to bring the matter before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec.

In a second step, we help victims of road accidents to build their medical records. In principle, after each road accident, the victim should consult a doctor to document all the symptoms and injuries caused by the accident. In addition, we refer you to medical experts who will make solid counter-expertise to dismantle the SAAQ’s evidence.

Finally, our team, which intervenes in both Old Montreal and Little Italy, supports you in addressing all the remedies authorized by law against the SAAQ.

Services of Lambert Civil Liability Lawyers in Montreal

In the Côte-des-Neiges, Pointe-Saint-Charles and Pierrefonds sectors, our firm also assists all victims of civil misconduct.

Our qualified civil liability lawyers will represent you in compensation cases involving various damages, including:

• bodily injury;
• moral prejudice;
• material or financial damage.

In reality, civil liability is based on the principle of reparation. Any individual who, by the fact of an action or omission, causes damage to others is obliged to make reparation for it. If you are the victim, our legal team will help you obtain just compensation and come into possession of the money owed to you. Quebec’s civil law provides for three cumulative criteria on which all civil liability actions are based. These criteria are fault, harm and causation.

Fault is the actions or behavior of an individual who does not comply with the law. As for the damage, it corresponds to the various damages caused by the fault that is committed. Damage can be bodily (physical injury), moral or material injury.

As regards the causal link, it consists in proving that the damage suffered is the direct consequence of the fault committed. It is usually established by an expert because of its great importance.

Our firm Lambert Avocats is professional in this field. It will undoubtedly help you to demonstrate the existence of these criteria in order to open up a civil liability action. And you don’t have to panic about our compensation. We accept percentage agreements in most of our liability cases. You will pay us according to the amount that will be paid to you at the end of the trial or a settlement.

On the other hand, if you are implicated, our firm can help you win your case or limit your expenses. In a practical way, we will defend your rights in such a way as to avoid any exaggerations and to rule out any miscarriage of justice.
