The clients we represent face complex situations following a denial, a benefits cut, or a contestable decision rendered by the CNESST, SAAQ, Retraite Québec, or a private disability insurer.
Our lawyers intervene when these decisions compromise return to work, financial stability, or the recognition of a disability.
Workplace Accident and Occupational Disease Issues – CNESST
Our lawyers intervene notably in cases of:
- CNESST claim denial
- Denial of occupational disease recognition
- Denial of a medical diagnosis related to the accident
- Absent, insufficient, or inadequate PAPD (permanent anatomical or psychological damage)
- Denial of relapse, recurrence, or aggravation (RRA)
- Decisions issued by the Bureau d’évaluation médicale (BEM)
- Employer contestations (interest protection situations)
- Contested work capacity decisions, including:
- capacity for prior employment
- capacity for suitable employment
- capacity for employment elsewhere on the labour market
These decisions can be contested through administrative review, then before the Tribunal administratif du travail.
Road Accident Issues – SAAQ
Our lawyers intervene when the SAAQ renders:
- a claim denial
- a denial of a medical diagnosis
- a denial of compensation for sequelae
- a contested work capacity decision
These decisions can be brought to administrative review, then before the Tribunal administratif du Québec.
Disability Insurance Issues – Private Insurers
Our lawyers represent individuals facing:
- a disability insurance claim denial
- insufficient compensation
- a premature work capacity declaration
- a post-COD decision (Change of Definition)
These cases can be brought before the insurer’s internal bodies, then before civil courts.
The settlement conference (CRA) is often an effective way to reach a settlement.
Disability Issues – Retraite Québec
Our lawyers intervene when:
- Retraite Québec refuses to recognize the disability
- an unfavourable decision is upheld in administrative review
These decisions can be contested before the Tribunal administratif du Québec, then brought to conciliation and/or a hearing.
