Client-Focused Success Stories
Wrongful Death Representation You Can Count On
At Yanko Popovic Sidhu, our wrongful death lawyers in Calgary have transformed lives by securing meaningful settlements for grieving families across Southern Alberta.
Here are anonymized examples of our advocacy, backed by Alberta’s legal framework:
Hospital Medication Error
A beloved father of three died from an anaphylactic reaction after being administered medication he was documented to be allergic to. The hospital claimed standard protocols were followed. Our wrongful death lawyers invoked Section 578 of Alberta’s Insurance Act (RSA 2000, c I-3) along with the Fatal Accidents Act (RSA 2000, c F-8), establishing clear liability for the medical error. We secured $1.85 million for the family, covering loss of financial support, grief counseling, and bereavement damages, providing crucial stability during this devastating time.
Workplace Scaffolding Collapse at Construction Site
A skilled tradesman perished when improperly secured scaffolding collapsed at a commercial construction project. The employer disputed responsibility, citing worker error. Our wrongful death lawyers leveraged Section 2(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (SA 2017, c O-2.1), proving serious violations of safety regulations and inadequate training. Our legal team obtained $2.3 million in damages through both Workers’ Compensation Board proceedings and a third-party negligence claim against the scaffolding supplier under the Tort-feasors Act (RSA 2000, c T-5).
Fatal Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Rental Property
A young couple lost their lives due to a faulty furnace in their leased apartment. The property management company denied knowledge of maintenance issues. Our wrongful death lawyers cited Section 16(c) of the Residential Tenancies Act (SA 2004, c R-17.1) establishing the landlord’s duty to maintain heating systems in safe working order. We recovered $1.6 million for the victims’ parents and siblings under the bereavement provisions of the Fatal Accidents Act (RSA 2000, c F-8, s. 8), holding the negligent parties accountable for this preventable tragedy.
