Finding a medical malpractice lawyer in Laval

A medical malpractice file is technical: records, expert opinions and a well-funded defence on the other side. When you look at a profile, check whether the lawyer regularly handles medical or hospital liability, how they work with medical experts, the languages they work in and how they charge.

Where these cases go

A civil claim against a physician or an institution that serves Laval is heard at the courthouse of the local judicial district, usually by the Superior Court or the Court of Québec depending on the amount. A complaint about care at a local hospital or health centre goes to that institution's service quality and complaints commissioner instead, and a concern about a physician's conduct can go to the Collège des médecins. Only the civil claim can lead to compensation.

In person or remote

Much of the early work is reading records and building a timeline, which a lawyer can do remotely. If you are recovering or caring for someone, a video or phone consultation can save a trip. You are not limited to offices in Laval: check the formats offered on each profile.

Before you call

• A short written timeline of the care, with dates and names.
• Any medical records, consent forms or letters you already have.
• Any complaint you filed and the answer received. The Quebec government's page on health complaints explains that process.

Frequently asked questions

I was treated in another city. Does that matter?

It can affect which courthouse hears the case, but not your right to claim. A lawyer can advise on where the claim should be filed.

Can I get my medical records myself?

Yes. You can generally ask the hospital, clinic or physician for a copy of your file. Having it early helps the lawyer assess your situation.
