Your Rights Are Yours. Make Them Count.
When you consult a healthcare professional, you expect to receive care that meets applicable standards. When a medical error occurs, the consequences can affect your health, your autonomy, your work, your finances, and your personal life.
Medical malpractice is a complex field—at once human, scientific, and legal. At Kugler Wechsler, you are supported by a team of experienced litigators who master complex medical files and defend victims and their families with rigour, attentiveness, and determination.
For decades, Kugler Wechsler has been at the forefront of groundbreaking Medical Malpractice cases, obtaining some of the largest monetary judgments and settlements in Québec history.
Kugler Wechsler is also one of only a handful of firms in Québec that is willing to handle Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that our firm’s remuneration will only be earned upon obtaining financial compensation for you, either through a settlement out of court or a final judgment. This means you benefit from the support of experienced professionals without having to bear the financial risk associated with litigation.
A Rigorous and Personalized Approach
Each case begins with a careful analysis of what happened. We review the medical file, the tests prescribed or omitted, the delays in providing treatment, and the actual consequences of the alleged fault.
Kugler Wechsler is one of the few law firms in Quebec that always acts on behalf of victims and their families in complex medical malpractice cases. For each of our cases, our goal is to claim compensation that reflects the real consequences a medical error can have for you and your loved ones: future care, lost income, rehabilitation costs, loss of autonomy, or impact on your quality of life. You can be certain that our lawyers will work with you to build a strong case that takes into account the uniqueness and complexity of your situation.
