Automobile Injury Lawyer

An automobile accident is an unexpected event. It can happen to anyone and when it does it can drastically change your life. Sometimes for a short period of time and in some cases permanently.

With over half a million licensed drivers in Edmonton and almost a million licensed drivers in Calgary, motor vehicle accidents are all too common. Even careful drivers fall victim to unexpected crashes, sometimes at high speeds and sometimes causing severe injuries or even death. These accidents are often avoidable, but unfortunately a small mistake or momentary lack of attention can have major regrettable consequences.

Insurance policies provide coverage of up to $1M and in some cases $2M to compensate victims of negligent drivers. Accident victims rarely claim anywhere near the maximum policy limit, and coverage provided is based on the type of injury and extent of loss. Although, money can never undo the effects of an injury, this coverage is designed to place the injured party back in the position they were in before the accident, as much as possible.

For this reason, a fulsome approach must be taken to ensure that a victim does not shoulder the costs of treatment, special needs, surgery, housekeeping assistance, and loss of income, or the loss of potential to earn income, for the period they are injured.

Victims of motor vehicle and other types of accidents must prove their losses. The knowledge and resources of a firm that practices in the area of personal injury law is a great way to bring an effective claim to ensure accident victims are properly and fully compensated.

No-Fault Benefits

Because Albertans are injured in motor vehicle accidents almost everyday, all drivers are required to carry insurance. These insurance policies are in effect for every insured driver and provide immediate, no-fault coverage to injured parties. This coverage is also known as the "Section B" policy of insurance and is accessible by anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident. Even if that person is not carrying or named in the insurance policy.

Come see our knowledgeable lawyers today to find out how to access the benefits available to you if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident. The sooner you begin treatment the better your prospects for a full recovery.

Uninsured Drivers

When uninsured drivers cause an accident, or the at-fault driver has left the scene and cannot be found the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Program of Alberta can be accessed to compensate injured parties for their losses. This process is complicated and injured parties should contact a lawyer in order to properly file a claim as against the Motor Vehicle Accident Fund.
