Medical Negligence & Health Law: Protecting Your Rights with Expertise and Care

As a French law firm dedicated to medical negligence and health law, we assist our clients—patients, families, and healthcare professionals—facing legal challenges arising from medical negligence or defective products. 

Le Tutour Avocats is committed to providing clear, compassionate, and strategic legal support in these often sensitive and complex matters.

Medical negligence cases can involve a wide range of issues: surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, hospital-acquired infections, birth injuries, defective product. These incidents may result in serious harm, long-term consequences, or even loss of life. When this happens, the law offers a path to recognition, accountability, and compensation.

Le Tutour Avocats guides its clients through every stage of the process, from gathering medical records and expert opinions to representing them before medical commissions (commissions de conciliation et d’indemnisation), courts, or insurance providers. We work to ensure your rights are respected and your voice is heard.

Beyond individual cases, we also advise on broader French health law issues, including patient rights, professional liability, hospital responsibility, liability of manufacturer and certifiers of medical devices.

Whether you are a victim seeking justice or a healthcare provider facing allegations, you can count on us to approach your case with professionalism, discretion, and determination. Our goal is to bring clarity in a time of confusion and to protect your legal and human rights with rigor and empathy.

If you are dealing with the consequences of medical negligence in France or have questions about your rights in the French healthcare context, we invite you to contact our firm. We are here to support you and help you move forward.
