Client-Focused Success Stories
Pedestrian Accident Representation You Can Rely On
At Yanko Popovic Sidhu, our pedestrian accident lawyers in Calgary have assisted individuals across Southern Alberta by pursuing compensation through the legal process.
Below are anonymized examples of past matters, outlined for general informational purposes under Alberta law.
Crosswalk Collision on Memorial Drive
A teacher was struck while using a marked crosswalk, suffering multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury requiring extensive rehabilitation. The driver’s insurance initially made a settlement offer, claiming poor visibility. Our pedestrian accident lawyers reviewed the circumstances with reference to Section 41(1) of Alberta’s Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulation (Alta Reg 304/2002), which outlines drivers’ duties at crosswalks. We assisted the client in pursuing compensation under the Insurance Act (RSA 2000, c I-3) that addressed rehabilitation needs, income loss, and other applicable damages.
Parking Lot Accident at Chinook Centre
A shopper was injured in a parking lot when a vehicle backed out of a space, resulting in a hip fracture that required surgery and ongoing mobility support. The insurer raised questions about shared responsibility. Our pedestrian accident lawyers helped assess the driver’s obligations under Alberta law. Through the claims process, the client was able to pursue compensation for treatment needs, care assistance, and impacts on daily functioning. Past results are not necessarily indicative of future outcomes.
Hit-and-Run on Macleod Trail
A nightshift worker was severely injured by a driver who fled the scene, leaving the victim with spinal damage and no apparent recourse. Our pedestrian accident lawyers assisted the client in pursuing a claim through the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act (RSA 2000, c M-22), invoking Section 18 covering unidentified motorists. Through this process, the client was able to obtain compensation from the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund based on medical documentation and expert assessments, helping address treatment needs and income loss related to the injury.

Frequently Asked Questions: Pedestrian Accidents in Alberta
Pedestrian Accident Questions Answered by a Calgary Lawyer
What is the average settlement for a pedestrian accident in Alberta?
Settlement amounts vary based on injury severity and individual circumstances. Pedestrian accident claims may involve higher compensation where injuries are serious. Compensation can range from lower amounts for minor injuries to higher awards in cases involving catastrophic or permanent disabilities, depending on the facts of the case. Our pedestrian injury lawyers can help explain what types of compensation may be available in your situation.
How long does it take to settle a pedestrian accident claim in Alberta?
Most pedestrian accident claims in Alberta are resolved within 1-3 years. Simple cases may settle in months, while complex cases involving severe injuries may take longer. Our pedestrian accident lawyers work to move your claim forward efficiently while helping you pursue fair compensation.
What if I were partially at fault for my pedestrian accident?
Alberta follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if partially at fault, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our pedestrian accident lawyers review the circumstances of your case and help you understand how fault may affect your claim.
Can I claim for psychological trauma after being hit as a pedestrian?
Yes, psychological injuries, including anxiety, PTSD, and depression, are compensable following a pedestrian accident in Alberta. Our pedestrian injury lawyers help document these impacts as part of your claim, where appropriate.
What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
If hit by an uninsured driver, you may still recover compensation through Alberta’s Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund or through your own insurance. Our pedestrian accident lawyers can help identify possible avenues for compensation.
What to do immediately after being hit as a pedestrian?
Seek immediate medical attention, report the accident to the police, document the scene if possible (or have someone do it for you), get witness contact information, and consider speaking with a pedestrian accident lawyer before providing statements or accepting settlements.
