Frequently Asked Questions: Hit and Run Accidents in Alberta
Your Top Hit and Run Questions Answered by Calgary’s Accident Lawyers
What happens if the hit and run driver is never found in Alberta?
In Alberta, victims of hit and run accidents can still receive compensation through the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF) and your own Section B benefits. Our hit and run accident lawyers can assist you in understanding these options and guiding you through the application process.
How long do I have to report a hit and run in Alberta?
You should report a hit and run to police immediately (within 24 hours if possible). For insurance claims, you typically have 30 days to notify your insurer. For MVACF claims when drivers remain unidentified, you have up to 90 days. Our hit and run lawyers can help you understand the required timelines and assist with the steps involved.
How much compensation can I get for a hit and run accident in Alberta?
Compensation varies based on injury severity and available insurance coverage. Through Alberta’s MVACF, claims are limited to $200,000 per accident. If you have an SEF 44 Family Protection Endorsement, additional coverage may be available, and our hit and run accident lawyers can explain how this type of policy may apply to your situation.
Will my insurance rates go up after a hit and run that wasn't my fault?
If you’re not at fault in a hit and run accident, your premiums may not increase, depending on your insurer’s policies and the circumstances. Our hit and run lawyer can help you understand the reporting process and what information may be needed to document the incident, which may assist in how your claim is assessed.
Can I claim psychological trauma after a hit and run accident in Alberta?
Yes, psychological injuries such as anxiety, PTSD, or trauma may be compensable when supported by medical evidence. Our hit and run accident lawyers assist in gathering relevant documentation and guiding you on how these injuries can be presented during a claim.
What should I do immediately after a hit and run accident in Alberta?
Seek immediate medical attention, report the accident to police with any details you remember about the fleeing vehicle, document the scene if possible, gather witness information, notify your insurer, and consider speaking with a hit and run lawyer if you have questions about the claims process or your rights before agreeing to any settlement.
