Personal Injury Montreal Sample Case

Please do not underestimate the potential of a minor injury or the capabilities of our attorneys. In one case decided by the Superior Court of Quebec on 2015-03-30, a young artist had sliced through the tip of one of her fingers on a machine, resulting in damages that would ordinarily be valued at around one to two thousand dollars ($1,000 to $2,000), we were unable to negotiate a satisfactory settlement to the claim and so we chose to litigate the matter in court. In Court we obtained a victory that set a ground-breaking precedent with valuation of the injury at over one hundred dollars ($100,000). This Montreal personal injury case made jurisprudence and was the subject of many presentations at annual attorney conventions. We won on the basis that our client was an artist and the injury would have minor but permanent effect on her ability to draw, and substantially hampered her career choice and her development during her formative teen years. The morale of the story is that even for small injuries, it is best to consult a professional.
