Finding a personal injury lawyer in Sherbrooke

Look for a lawyer who regularly handles the kind of injury you have: a fall on a property, a medical error, a dispute with the SAAQ or an insurer. Check the languages they work in, how they charge and whether they can meet you quickly, since deadlines matter in these files.

Where your file goes

A civil claim for an injury suffered in Sherbrooke is filed at the courthouse of the local judicial district, before the Court of Québec or the Superior Court depending on the amount. A road accident goes to the SAAQ instead, a workplace injury to the CNESST and a crime to IVAC. When you disagree with a SAAQ or IVAC review decision, the next step is the Administrative Tribunal of Québec, which hears cases across the province.

In person or remote

If you are recovering or have trouble getting around, a video or phone consultation can save you a trip. Much of the early work, reviewing records and correspondence, is done remotely anyway. You are not limited to offices in Sherbrooke: check the formats on each profile.

Before you call

• A short written account of the accident, with the date and place.
• Photos, reports, witness names and your medical records.
• Any letter or decision from an insurer, the SAAQ, the CNESST or IVAC.
• A list of your losses so far, such as missed work, care costs and travel to appointments.

Frequently asked questions

The accident happened in another city. Does that matter?

It can affect which courthouse hears a civil claim, but not your right to claim. A lawyer can tell you where the file should go.

Should I talk to the other party's insurer first?

You can answer basic questions, but avoid signing a release or accepting a settlement before getting advice on what your claim may be worth.
