Our Approach

We understand that dealing with an injury is overwhelming. Our first priority is to make sure you are getting the medical care and support you need. From there, we handle the legal process: gathering evidence, dealing with insurance companies, and building a strong case for full and fair compensation.

Alberta personal injury law is shaped by the Insurance Act, the Minor Injury Regulation, and the Occupiers' Liability Act, among other statutes. We know these frameworks inside and out, and we use that knowledge to pursue every dollar of compensation you are entitled to.

Many of our personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. We discuss all fee arrangements openly at your first consultation.

Common Questions

Under the Limitations Act, you generally have two years from the date of the injury, or from when you first knew or ought to have known about the injury, to file a claim. For motor vehicle accidents, you must also notify your own insurer promptly. Delays can affect your right to compensation, so seek legal advice as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, lost income (past and future), medical and rehabilitation expenses, loss of household services, and out-of-pocket costs. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, their impact on your daily life and work, and the available insurance coverage.

Alberta's Minor Injury Regulation caps pain and suffering damages for sprains, strains, and whiplash-associated disorders that are classified as minor injuries. As of 2024, the cap is approximately $5,637 and is adjusted annually for inflation. If your injury is more serious than a minor injury, the cap does not apply, and your compensation may be significantly higher.

Many personal injury claims are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay legal fees only if your case is successful. The fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or judgment. We discuss fee arrangements openly at your initial consultation so there are no surprises.
