What should I do after a car accident in Alberta?

Get medical attention, report the collision as required, exchange information, photograph the scene and vehicles, note witnesses, and keep records of treatment and time away from work. Speak with a lawyer before giving a detailed statement to another party's insurer.

How long do I have to start a personal injury claim?

Limitation periods apply in Alberta and differ depending on the nature of the claim and who is involved. Because deadlines can be shorter than people expect, seek advice early rather than assuming there is time.

Do you guarantee compensation?

No. No lawyer can guarantee an outcome. The result of any injury claim depends on liability, the evidence, the extent of the injuries and the applicable law.

Should I accept the insurer's first offer?

Not before you understand the full extent of your injuries and losses. Once a settlement is signed, it is generally final. Have the offer reviewed first.

What if I was partly at fault?

Alberta law allows for responsibility to be apportioned between parties. Being partly at fault does not necessarily prevent a claim, though it can affect what is recoverable.

How are legal fees handled for injury matters?

Fee arrangements depend on the type of matter. We will explain the fee structure that applies to your file in writing before work begins.

Understanding the issue

What has to be established

An injury claim generally requires showing that another party owed a duty of care, that the duty was breached, and that the breach caused the injury and resulting losses. Losses can include treatment costs, lost income and the effect of the injury on daily life.

Evidence is central: medical records, incident reports, photographs, witness details and a consistent record of symptoms and treatment.

Time limits and insurer communications

Alberta imposes limitation periods on injury claims, and insurance policies contain their own reporting requirements. Statements given to an insurer early on can affect a claim. Obtain advice before signing releases or agreeing to a settlement figure.
