Are you a victim of an occupational or personal disease related to asbestos exposure?

At Desroches Mongeon Avocats, we have been assisting workers and their estates in their claims with the CNESST for over 25 years. Employers often contest decisions that are favourable to workers, since the amounts are significant and the employer must pay for every dollar that the worker receives. Desroches Mongeon Avocats’ mission is to defend workers in their fight for justice. Our experts (pulmonologists, epidemiologists, etc.) are skilled and accustomed to defending cases before the Tribunal administratif du Travail (TAT). Moreover, our office is the consulting firm of the AVAQ: Association des victimes de l’amiante du Québec.

If your exposure is not occupational or you cannot identify the source of the contamination, we know how to obtain compensation from American compensation funds that were set up by manufacturers who are now bankrupt.

Our primary goal is to structure the case properly to avoid an hearing and to encourage out-of-court settlements, which are quite common. In the event of representation in court, we have the required expertise and solutions accessible to all budgets.
