I disagree with a SAAQ decision — where do I go?

The TAQ's Social Affairs Division hears SAAQ indemnity contestations. Note the deadline in the decision letter; it is short and strictly applied.

Is there a Montreal office?

Yes — the TAQ also sits in Montreal at 500 boulevard René-Lévesque Ouest, reachable on the same toll-free number.

Not required. The TAQ is designed to be accessible, though representation helps where medical or valuation evidence is central.

Can I appeal a TAQ decision?

Generally no appeal exists; judicial review in the Cour supérieure is the remaining route, on limited grounds.
