Misappropriation of Funds | Expert Forensic Accounting in Quebec

When wrongful acts cause financial or reputational damage, victims have the right to claim compensation.

Tort law addresses situations where an individual or business suffers harm due to the misconduct, negligence, or fault of another party. These disputes often involve complex financial consequences — whether from defamation, professional negligence, or economic interference.

At LMD Forensic Accountants, we support legal professionals and their clients by quantifying damages and providing objective, evidence-based analysis in tort cases. Our work ensures that financial claims are well-founded, defensible, and aligned with the standards of the court.

Understanding Tort Damages

Under Quebec civil law, a tort (or “civil fault”) occurs when three conditions are met:

A wrongful act or omission;
A measurable harm (economic, physical, or moral);
A direct link between the two.

Tort damages can range from financial loss and loss of reputation to property damage or diminished business opportunities. Our role is to translate these complex harms into accurate and credible financial assessments.

Our Expertise in Tort Cases

We are frequently retained in cases involving:

Professional negligence, including accountants, engineers, and advisors;
Defamation and reputational harm, including online or media-related claims;
Economic interference, such as wrongful competition or breach of confidence;
Personal injury claims where financial consequences must be established;
Loss of business opportunity or valuation of reputational impact.

Our team brings clarity to these cases by isolating financial facts, analyzing cause-and-effect, and distinguishing legitimate losses from speculative claims.
