SAAQ Contestation in Valleyfield: Expert Lawyers in Road Accidents
Slogar, specialists in appealing SAAQ decisions to the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (Tribunal Administratif du Québec)
Have you suffered a road accident in the Valleyfield area and the decision rendered by the SAAQ administrative review service does not reflect the reality of your injuries? Facing compensation denials while managing pain and consequences can be exhausting.
At SLOGAR, our team of experienced lawyers and claims management professionals supports you. We take charge of your SAAQ contestation case and protect your rights before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (TAQ) to obtain the compensation, rehabilitation and recognition you are legitimately entitled to.
Why contest a SAAQ review decision?
The Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) plays a crucial role in bodily injury compensation. Yet, road accident victims too often face incorrect calculations or outright denials that jeopardize their professional future and quality of life.
IMPORTANT: You have a strict 60-day deadline following receipt of the decision letter from the SAAQ Administrative Review Service to file a contestation with the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (TAQ). Acting quickly is essential to have your voice heard before an impartial tribunal.
Common SAAQ dispute grounds handled by our lawyers:
- Non-recognition of consequences and damages: The SAAQ minimizes or refuses to recognize the permanent impact of your bodily injuries.
- Error in compensation: An incorrect calculation was applied for your impairment benefits.
- Unfair vocational rehabilitation procedures: A new determined employment is imposed on you despite your real functional limitations and pain.
- Premature termination of treatments: The SAAQ refuses to continue paying for your therapies (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychological follow-ups) necessary for your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – for SAAQ contestation cases in Valleyfield
What is the role of the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (TAQ)?
The TAQ is a tribunal independent from the SAAQ. It is the impartial body before which your lawyer will plead your case to have an unjust administrative review decision modified.
Can I contest if the SAAQ asks me to return to work despite my pain?
Yes. If the vocational rehabilitation plan or employment determined by the SAAQ does not respect your real functional limitations, a contestation is often required to protect your professional future.
Is it possible to settle the case without going to a hearing before a judge?
Yes. In many cases, a conciliation session conducted by our lawyers allows reaching a satisfactory amicable agreement with the SAAQ, thus avoiding the stress of a formal hearing.
