INJURY

Accidents Leading to Injury

After an accident, there are quite a few things you need to know.

Car Accidents

You should report your accident to the police irrespective of whether you intend to hire a lawyer.

Notifying Insurers

After you have suffered an injury, you should begin the claims process with your insurance and the insurance of any at-fault parties.

In Alberta, injuries from car accidents are automatically covered by Section B insurance which pays for medical treatments up to $50,000.00 within the first two years of your injury.

Attending Medical Treatment

After your injury, you are obligated to treat your injury and try to get better. Usually this involves receiving prescriptions for treatment from your family doctor, but might involve the intervention of specialist doctors, physiotherapists, or other medical practitioners in Calgary. If you don't know how to treat, you can ask one of our lawyers for advice.

Making your Proposal

If you don't know what you're doing or have much experience in negotiating, this is where lawyers can help you the most. We know the cases and what kind of losses are compensable at law. We can also send you for second opinions and expert examinations if you require special or ongoing care.

Reviewing your Settlement Offer

If you have proceeded without a lawyer and now have an offer from an insurance company or tort-feasor, we can review the offer to see if you have been reasonably compensated for your loss.
