Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our services or the legal process? Review our FAQs for general information to help you better understand personal injury claims in Alberta.
General Questions
Do I need a lawyer for my personal injury claim?
You are not legally required to hire a lawyer. However, insurance companies may assess claims differently when a person does not have legal representation. A personal injury lawyer can explain your rights, help you understand available options, and assist in pursuing compensation based on the facts of your case.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay legal fees unless compensation is recovered. There are no upfront fees, and our our fee is a percentage of any settlement or court award.
What types of cases do you handle?
Our firm focuses on personal injury law, including:
• Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle)
• Pedestrian and cyclist accidents
• Slip-and-fall and premises liability claims
• Catastrophic injuries (brain/spinal injuries)
• Wrongful death claims
• Insurance disputes and denied claims
If you’re unsure whether your situation may give rise to a claim, contact us for a free consultation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Alberta?
In most cases, Alberta’s Limitations Act requires a claim to be started within two years from the date of the accident or when the injury was discovered. Some exceptions may apply, and delays can affect evidence and legal options.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
To protect your rights:
✅ Seek medical attention – Your health is the priority, and medical records may be important for any claim.
✅ Gather evidence – Take photos if safe, obtain witness details, and report the accident as required.
✅ Be cautious when speaking with insurers – Information you provide may affect your claim. You may wish to obtain legal advice before giving a detailed statement.
Working With Our Firm
How will I communicate with my lawyer?
We offer communication by phone, email, and virtual meetings, and we make reasonable efforts to keep you informed about developments in your case.
What if the insurance company already made me an offer?
Insurance companies may make early settlement offers. Our firm can review any offer at no cost and explain whether it reasonably reflects your injuries and losses.
Will my case go to court?
Most personal injury claims resolve without going to court, but we prepare each case thoroughly from the outset. If negotiations do not lead to a reasonable resolution, we can represent you through the court process where appropriate.
How long does a personal injury case take?
The timeline depends on factors such as case complexity, medical recovery, and discussions with insurers. Some claims resolve within months, while others take longer if court proceedings are required. We focus on moving your claim forward efficiently while pursuing compensation based on the facts of your case.
Compensation & Settlements:
What compensation can I recover?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include:
• Medical expenses (past and future, where supported by evidence)
• Lost income and potential loss of earning capacity
• General damages for pain and suffering (subject to Alberta law)
• Rehabilitation & long-term care costs, if applicable
• Property damage and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
How is my settlement amount determined?
Compensation may depend on factors such as:
• Severity of injuries and long-term impact
• Medical expenses & ongoing treatment needs
• Loss of income & future earning ability
• Insurance policy limits & liability
We may consult medical, financial, and legal professionals to support your claim.
What if I was partially at fault?
Can I still receive compensation? Yes. Alberta follows a contributory negligence system, which means you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partly responsible for the accident. Any compensation may be reduced based on your share of fault. A lawyer can help review how liability is assessed under Alberta law.
How do I know if the insurance company’s offer is reasonable?
Initial offers may not fully account for all losses. Our firm reviews settlement offers by considering documented damages, future needs, and relevant case law, in addition to the insurer’s position.

How do I get started with my case?
