Medical accidents and errors
The firm works alongside you to obtain compensation that reflects the reality of your experience.
Every situation is unique, as should be your legal support and compensation.
The firm ensures that no victims are overlooked, and the consideration of harm to loved ones is systematic (and does not only occur upon the direct victim's death).
All possibilities for achieving full compensation in relation to your situation will be examined (amicable and judicial routes) to enable you to make the best decision and obtain the best compensation.
Pending receipt of your full compensation, the firm can take actions to obtain interim payments on account of your final compensation. All strategies will be explored (timing and amounts).
What to do in the first 24 hours?
Obtain an initial medical certificate of care following the accident and/or the firefighters' intervention report
Obtain the contact details of any witnesses
Making appointments with a doctor and/or a psychologist for continued care
Do not sign any transaction with an insurance company without having consulted the firm.
Subsequently, and as soon as possible, please arrange an appointment with PRONOST AVOCATS to define together the best strategy to implement in your case.
A network at your service
We also work, when the case requires it, with paramedical partners (occupational therapists, psychologists, etc.) but also with various professionals (architects, building professionals, etc.) who can provide you with adequate assistance for your new needs in connection with the damage.
The firm will do everything in its power to help you put together a complete file that will enable you to claim compensation for your losses as accurately as possible.
We meet victims at their convenience, on our premises, at their home or in their functional rehabilitation centre, including outside Toulouse (e.g. Verdaich Clinic (09), La Reviscolada Health Centre (32), etc.).
The firm handles all situations, particularly those with life-changing consequences following an accident (trauma, paralysis, spinal cord injuries, neurological damage, amputation, loss of an eye, brain injury, disabilities, etc.).
What cases do we work on the most?
- Road traffic accidents
- Everyday accidents (fire, falls, skiing, horse riding, etc.),
- Industrial accidents and occupational diseases
- Medical errors and hospital-acquired infections
- Abuse and mistreatment of vulnerable people in institutions or at home
