Alberta uses a tort-based auto insurance system. Unlike the no-fault model used in some provinces, an injured person in Calgary can generally pursue a claim against an at-fault driver, in addition to Section B accident benefits available through their own insurer regardless of fault.
Alberta’s Minor Injury Regulation caps pain-and-suffering damages for certain soft-tissue injuries defined as minor. Whether an injury falls inside or outside that definition can significantly affect a claim, which is why an early and thorough medical record matters.
Your circumstances may involve benefits through your own insurer and a claim against an at-fault party.
Available through an auto policy regardless of fault, subject to the applicable rules.
May seek compensation from the party legally responsible for the collision.
Section B accident benefits are no-fault benefits available through an auto insurance policy after a crash, regardless of who caused it. They can cover matters such as medical treatment and some income replacement, subject to the policy and applicable law.
An injured person may be able to pursue compensation from the driver or party responsible for the accident. Fault, causation, medical evidence and proven losses can all affect the claim.
The regulation limits pain-and-suffering damages for certain injuries classified as minor. Whether an injury falls within the legal definition depends on the diagnosis, symptoms, medical evidence and applicable rules.
Consistent medical documentation helps connect the accident to the injury and shows how symptoms developed. Legal deadlines can prevent a claim if missed, so the specific timeline should be confirmed promptly.
Civil claims connected to a Calgary accident are typically handled through the Calgary Courts Centre. The appropriate court depends on the nature and value of the claim.
Alberta Court of Justice: Smaller civil claims may proceed through the civil division, subject to its jurisdiction and procedural requirements.
Court of King’s Bench of Alberta: Larger personal injury claims may proceed before the Court of King’s Bench. The correct forum depends on the claim and relief sought.
Calgary’s winter roads, busy interchanges, public transit and commercial properties can create distinct accident risks.
Black ice and snow can contribute to serious crashes on Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail and Crowchild Trail.
Icy sidewalks, parking lots, stairs and building entrances may create dangerous conditions.
Injuries may occur on platforms, around crossings or while entering and leaving public transit.
Congested intersections, merging traffic and ring-road connections can lead to rear-end and multi-vehicle collisions.
Downtown Calgary and the Beltline bring vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians into close contact.
Hazards at retail and commercial properties may cause preventable injuries.
Every injury has its own impact. We assess the medical evidence, recovery needs and effect on daily life.
No lawyer can guarantee an outcome. A careful, well-documented file gives you the best chance of a fair result, whether the injury is minor or catastrophic.
Protect your health and preserve the information that may be needed for your claim.
Get medical care and describe your symptoms accurately, even if they seem minor at first.
Report the incident to police and your insurer, and open a Section B benefits claim promptly when applicable.
Photograph the scene, your vehicle or the hazard, and collect contact information from witnesses.
Keep every document, including claim numbers, receipts, medical notes and correspondence.
Be careful with recorded statements and broad authorizations before getting legal advice.
Contact a personal injury lawyer early, especially if fault is disputed, the injury is serious or a deadline may apply.
An adjuster investigates coverage, benefits and claimed losses. They may request forms, medical information or a statement. Understand exactly what is being requested and why before signing broad authorizations or giving a detailed recorded statement.
A personal injury lawyer can communicate with the insurer, organize evidence and respond to disputed benefits or settlement proposals. A settlement is normally final, so you should understand which rights you are giving up and which future expenses may remain.
We offer contingency fee arrangements for qualifying Calgary injury claims. Legal fees are paid from your recovery only if the case succeeds, under a written agreement that we review with you before you sign.
Not always. Minor claims with clear liability and full recovery often resolve without one. Get advice quickly if you are facing a serious injury, a fault dispute, a denied benefit or an approaching deadline.
