Wrongful Death Lawyer in Quebec City — what to expect
A wrongful death claim in Quebec lets dependants and family members recover for the financial and emotional loss caused by a preventable death — whether from a collision near the Plains of Abraham, a workplace incident, or medical negligence at CHU de Québec-Université Laval.
These claims are filed by the family, not the estate, and cover loss of financial support, loss of guidance and companionship, and funeral expenses, under Quebec's Fatal Accidents-style legislation. Our Quebec City team handles the entire claim directly with the responsible party's insurer so your family isn't negotiating your loss with a claims adjuster, and takes the matter to Palais de justice de Québec if a fair resolution isn't offered.
What this can cover
- Loss of financial support and dependency
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of guidance, care and companionship
- Grief-related damages where permitted by provincial law
