Civil liability holds any person accountable who has caused harm to another through their fault or negligence.

Our services include:

  • Slips and falls on private or public property;
  • Personal injuries and moral damages;
  • Negotiation with insurance companies;
  • Collaboration with experts to conduct a full assessment of the after-effects and financial losses;
  • Claims for medical expenses, loss of income, and suffering.

We support victims in obtaining fair and equitable compensation for all damages suffered.

Three elements must be established: the fault committed, the damage suffered, and the causal link between the fault and the damage.

Owners and those responsible for others may be held liable for damages caused.

  • Employer liability for the acts of their employees;
  • Defense against liability claims;
  • We establish or contest liability based on your position in the litigation.

Professionals may incur liability in the event of fault in the performance of their duties.

  • Negligence by engineers and architects;
  • Defense against professional claims;
  • Recourse against professional orders.

We represent both victims of professional misconduct and professionals facing claims, ensuring rigorous defense of their rights.

The limitation period is generally 3 years from the occurrence of the harm or 6 months if liability rests with a city or municipality. Consult a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.

A liability law attorney reviews the case file, gathers evidence, and negotiates with insurers, where applicable, and represents the victim as needed, in order to obtain optimal compensation while guiding the client through each step of the legal process.

Civil liability covers bodily injury, property damage, or non-material harm caused to a third party. It makes it possible to compensate the victim in the event of a claim.
