Tort law and compensation claims

We represent individuals and businesses in tort and compensation claims, providing effective legal strategies for cases involving negligence, personal injury, reputational harm, and economic loss.

Practice Overview

Tort law provides remedies for individuals and entities harmed by the wrongful acts or omissions of others. At Kayrouz & Associates, we handle a wide spectrum of tort cases, from personal injury and defamation to professional negligence and economic interference. Our approach balances assertive legal advocacy with a strategic understanding of reputational and financial stakes.

We assist clients in proving liability, quantifying damages, and securing compensation through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Whether you're seeking recovery after a traffic accident, pursuing damages for a defamation claim, or asserting your rights after a breach of duty by a professional, our team builds persuasive, evidence-based cases.

We also work with insurers, forensic experts, and medical professionals to present clear arguments on causation and loss. In cross-border disputes, we assess applicable laws and jurisdictions to determine the most favourable route to resolution.

Our firm is committed to ensuring that clients are fairly compensated and supported throughout the legal process.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Filing personal injury claims from traffic, workplace, or public accidents
  • Representing clients in defamation and reputational harm disputes
