Bellemare Avocats

Before you call about personal injury / accident

General guidance for this kind of matter, not advice about your situation and not specific to this firm.

Questions worth asking

• Is my claim under the SAAQ, the CNESST, or ordinary civil liability?
• Have you appeared before the Tribunal administratif du travail?
• What are the deadlines for contesting the decision I received?
• How are your fees structured for this kind of file?

How this work is usually billed

Because Quebec injury claims usually run through the SAAQ or CNESST rather than a lawsuit, this is often billed hourly or as a fixed fee per contestation rather than on contingency. Ask directly which applies.

What to have ready

The decision you are contesting and its date, your medical file, the accident or incident report, and any correspondence from the agency.
