Tort law aims to provide compensation for damage suffered as a result of an accident, a medical error, a defective product or any other unlawful act. Closely related, insurance law governs the relationships between insured parties, insurers and third parties, both in the field of private insurance (liability insurance, legal expenses insurance, life, health and accident insurance) and social insurance (LAA, LAI, LPP).
Our firm has recognised expertise and extensive experience in tort law and social insurance matters. We advise and represent victims and insured persons as well as insurance companies, social insurers and employers. Our lawyers, including a certified FSA specialist in tort and insurance law, act at every stage of a case, from the occurrence of the damage through to compensation, providing strategic, rigorous and human-centred support.
Our practice includes advising and representing victims following accidents or medical malpractice, assisting companies and individuals facing liability claims in cases of accidents or professional negligence, and managing all aspects of social insurance proceedings. We support our clients in review, objection and appeal procedures, and act in the assessment, negotiation and enforcement of civil claims, such as loss of earnings, loss of support, pension loss, impairment of future earning capacity, household damage and moral damages.
We also assist insurance companies and social insurers in pursuing recourse actions against liable third parties and represent our clients before judicial and administrative authorities when amicable negotiations fail. In parallel, we provide criminal representation for victims in cases involving serious bodily injury or death, coordinating the civil, criminal and insurance aspects of the matter.
The added value of our specialised lawyers lies in a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary approach integrating civil, criminal and insurance law aspects, ensuring coherent and effective handling of complex and often highly sensitive situations. Our experience includes negotiating substantial out-of-court settlements as well as representing clients before civil, criminal and administrative courts, with the constant objective of securing fair compensation in accordance with our clients’ rights.
