Our lawyers, highly skilled in defending victims of occupational accidents and physical injury, are involved in both amicable and litigation proceedings and, in collaboration with appointed technical assistants, defend our clients in the context of medical and technical expert appraisals (ergotherapy, architectural, accidentology, accounting, etc.).
We have the necessary tools and processes to provide our clients with the best possible advice on the assessment of personal injury, in line with constant developments in case law.
Our lawyers, experts in occupational accidents, are available throughout France, particularly in Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Nîmes and Paris.
Victims of road traffic accidents benefit from a special compensation scheme provided for in the law of 5 July 1985, known as the BADINTER law. The mere fact that a third-party vehicle is involved in a road traffic accident means that the victim is entitled to compensation. Regardless of whether the driver was at fault, the victim is entitled to compensation. On the other hand, it is important to consider the victim’s behaviour, which, in the event of fault, may result in the victim’s right to compensation being reduced or excluded.
Abeille’s lawyers have developed special expertise in this area and assist insurance companies in applying this specific scheme.
Victims of personal accidents seek compensation for their losses by engaging the civil or contractual liability of the perpetrator of the damage, and of his civil liability insurer.
Abeille handles these cases on a daily basis.
The firm represents and advises healthcare establishments and practitioners throughout France.
In the field of medical liability, the firm’s technical expertise also covers compensation for personal injury.
Insurance companies are involved in criminal proceedings relating to road traffic accidents, where the offence is classified as unintentional injury or manslaughter. Compensation for victims may be awarded by criminal jurisdictions.
In parallel, our insurance company clients appoint us to defend the interests of their policyholders before criminal courts.
