Accidents in daily life

An accident that occurs in everyday life can disrupt a person’s life, such as a fall in a restaurant, shop, or street, burns resulting from a gas explosion, an injury sustained during a sporting activity or as a result of being hit by a projectile, being bitten by a dog, or drowning in a swimming pool. These are all examples that generally involve a responsible third party, who is often held liable in contract or tort.

Victims of accidents in everyday life may also suffer as a result of an event involving only themselves, such as an injury sustained while hiking, a fall on a bicycle or one’s own stairs, or slipping on wet ground in the rain, in which case, in the absence of a liable third party, it will be necessary to turn to one’s own insurance if a policy such as personal accident cover has been taken out beforehand.

These victims often find themselves in a situation where the insurance company denies them their right to compensation, citing clauses in their policy that exclude all compensation.

They are sometimes faced with contestation from insurers or inadequate offers.

The LAETHEM LAUCOIN BOUR law firm, which exclusively defends victims’ interests, assists its clients in out-of-court or contentious proceedings to obtain fair compensation for their losses resulting from an accident.

Its lawyers effectively guide victims through the legal and administrative complexities of the compensation process they face. They help them gather the necessary evidence, accurately assess all the losses suffered, and negotiate with insurers to obtain fair compensation.

LAETHEM LAUCOIN BOUR can also challenge unfavourable decisions, consult technical and medical advisors, and represent the victim in court if necessary.
