Which deadlines decide whether a Alberta claim survives?
Within 30 days, notice of the accident must go to the insurer. Within 60 days, Form AB-1A, the Claim for Disability Benefits, is due if time has been missed from work. Within 90 days, Form AB-1, the Notice of Loss and Proof of Claim, is due for treatment coverage. Within 2 years, the limitation period ends most claims against an at-fault driver. The two-year clock is suspended while a claimant is under 18.
What determines the value of a Alberta injury claim?
Four things: whether the injury falls inside Alberta's minor injury cap ($6,306 for accidents on or after January 1, 2026; $6,182 for 2025 accidents), what the medical record shows, which heads of damages apply, and how fault is divided. An injury escapes the cap if it causes a serious impairment: an ongoing inability to perform essential work, education, or daily activities. Beyond pain and suffering, a claim can include past lost income, loss of future earning capacity, cost of future care, out-of-pocket expenses, and loss of housekeeping capacity.
What kinds of Alberta injury claims can be reviewed?
Car accidents including rear end crashes, intersection collisions, and highway crashes. Truck and commercial vehicle collisions. Pedestrians and cyclists hit by a vehicle. Motorcycle crashes. Passengers injured in any vehicle. Serious slip and fall injuries on ice, stairs, or unsafe property. Dog bites and attacks. Fatal collisions, where dependants may have claims for loss of support. Injuries at work are different: in Alberta those generally run through WCB rather than an injury claim, so they are not something this review covers.
The injuries most worth a closer look: head and brain injuries including concussion, with symptoms like headaches, trouble concentrating or remembering, and blurred vision; neck and whiplash injuries with numbness or tingling; back and spinal injuries with nerve pain; broken bones in arms, legs, ankles, and hips; trouble walking, standing, or driving; chronic pain and the psychological effects of a serious crash. The more serious and complicated the injuries, the more a proper review matters.
What if the collision was partly my fault?
Alberta apportions responsibility between parties under the Contributory Negligence Act. Being found partly at fault reduces a claim proportionally. It does not eliminate one.
