Frequently Asked Questions: Spinal Cord Injuries in Alberta
Your Top Spinal Injury Questions Answered by a Calgary spinal cord Injury Lawyer
What is the average settlement for a spinal cord injury in Alberta?
How long does it take to settle a spinal cord injury claim in Alberta?
Most spinal cord injury claims in Alberta can take 2-5 years to settle properly. This timeline allows for medical stability, accurate prognosis development, and comprehensive future care planning. While our spine injury lawyers work efficiently, we don’t rush a case in a way that could affect full compensation. Interim payments may sometimes be negotiated with the insurer while the full claim progresses.
What compensation can I receive for a spinal injury in Alberta?
In Alberta, spinal cord injury victims may be able to claim compensation for: medical expenses (past and future), rehabilitation costs, home modifications, assistive devices, lost income and earning capacity, pain and suffering (general damages), loss of enjoyment of life, in some cases family member claims for loss of care and companionship, and attendant care costs. Our spinal injury lawyer works to make sure all categories are thoroughly documented.

The Supreme Court of Canada has capped pain and suffering (general damages) at approximately $400,000 (adjusted for inflation and varying by year) for the most catastrophic injuries, including severe spinal cord injuries. However, this cap only applies to the pain and suffering portion—there is generally no limit on economic damages like lost income and medical expenses. Your spine injury lawyer will help document and pursue all aspects of your claim.
