Here are anonymized examples of our dominance, backed by Alberta’s legal framework:
Nighttime Hit and Run on Memorial Drive
A jogger was struck from behind by a vehicle that immediately fled the scene, leaving them with severe spinal injuries and unable to identify the driver. Our hit and run lawyers navigated Section 69(1) of Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act and employed Section 17 of the Insurance Act (RSA 2000, c I-3) to access the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund. We secured $575,000 in compensation when we successfully identified the at-fault driver through traffic camera footage and witness statements, covering extensive rehabilitation costs and lost income for our previously athletic client.
Parking Lot Hit and Run at Chinook Centre
A shopper returning to their parked vehicle discovered significant damage and injuries from being sideswiped while loading groceries. The perpetrator fled without exchanging information. The insurance company initially denied the claim due to limited evidence. Our hit and run lawyers utilized Section 187(1) of the Traffic Safety Act regarding driver obligations after accidents, while simultaneously pursuing unidentified motorist coverage under Section B benefits of our client’s policy. We obtained $290,000 in damages after locating surveillance footage that captured the incident, covering medical expenses and psychological trauma.
Bicycle Commuter Hit and Run on 10th Street NW
A cyclist was knocked unconscious by a vehicle that ran a stop sign and left the scene. They suffered traumatic brain injury requiring years of cognitive therapy. With no witnesses initially coming forward, the case seemed impossible. Our hit and run lawyers implemented a comprehensive investigation strategy while invoking Section 66(1)(c) of the Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulation (Alta Reg 304/2002) regarding failure to stop at intersections. A social media campaign located a witness with dashcam footage, leading to driver identification. We recovered $1.3 million for our client’s ongoing medical care, lost future earnings, and pain and suffering.

What Our Clients Say about us?
Frequently Asked Questions: Hit and Run Accidents in Alberta
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 lawyer can help secure these benefits even when the at-fault driver remains unidentified.
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 ensure all deadlines are met.
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. However, with your own SEF 44 Family Protection Endorsement, our hit and run accident lawyers can secure substantially more coverage.
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 insurance premiums should not increase. Our hit and run lawyer ensures that the accident is properly documented as no-fault to protect your insurance rating.
Can I claim psychological trauma after a hit and run accident in Alberta?
Yes, psychological injuries including anxiety, PTSD, and trauma are compensable following a hit and run accident in Alberta. Our hit and run accident lawyers help document and prove these often-overlooked damages.
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 contact our hit and run lawyer before providing statements or accepting settlements.
