Personal injury law involves individuals who have suffered harm due to the negligence or misconduct of another party. This area of law covers a wide range of accidents and incidents, including but not limited to car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, occupier's liability, product liability and wrongful death. Our primary objective is to ensure that victims receive compensation for their losses, both economic and non-economic, to help them recover and move forward with their lives.

In Alberta, personal injury claims typically involve establishing negligence, wherein the injured party (the plaintiff) must demonstrate: (1) that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care; (2) that the defendant’s conduct breached the standard of care; (3) that the plaintiff sustained damage; and (4) that the damage was caused, in fact and in law, by the defendant’s breach. When suing for negligence, the injured party can seek compensation for various damages, such as medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, property damage, and other related costs.

In the event of a personal injury claim, it is essential to seek legal representation from an experienced personal injury lawyer who understands Alberta's legal system. These lawyers work to protect the rights of victims and advocate on their behalf to ensure they receive fair and just compensation for the injuries and damages they have suffered. Alberta's personal injury law operates within a framework that encourages settlements and mediation to resolve disputes, although litigation in court is also an option if a satisfactory settlement cannot be reached through negotiation.
