AUTO ACCIDENT SERVICES

Auto accident cases lie at the intersection of traffic and personal injury law. Determining fault and damages is rarely a straightforward process. As such, it is in your best interest to work with an experienced Alberta auto accident lawyer if you’ve been injured in any type of motor vehicle crash or collision.

Following an auto accident, there are many reasons to consult with a lawyer. Leaving it to the insurance companies to determine who was at fault and a fair settlement amount rarely works out in the victim’s favour. After an auto accident, legal counsel can be invaluable if you:

• are uncomfortable negotiating directly with the insurance companies and other driver(s);
• believe you have been wrongfully found at fault;
• suffered a personal injury;

Even if you are not found to be at fault, a motor vehicle accident can set you back in lost wages and expensive medical bills. Although the at-fault insurer will likely be responsible for at least a portion of those expenses, insurance companies will do everything in their power to minimize costs. An experienced Alberta car accident lawyer will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation to which you are entitled by law.

Laying the groundwork for a successful car accident case starts at the scene. Be sure to follow all post-accident laws and best practices, including:

• Remain at the scene of the accident, call 911 if anyone is injured, and exchange insurance information with the other driver(s).
• Take pictures of the vehicles, the road conditions, and any visible injuries.
• Do NOT assume fault, promise to pay damages, or discuss a settlement of any kind.
• File a police report as soon as possible, while the details are still fresh in your mind, and request a copy.
• Have a qualified physician evaluate you immediately, even when no visible injuries are present. Soft tissue damage and other injuries may not become apparent for days, or even weeks.
• Contact a Lawyer

Motor vehicle accidents involving personal injury are complex, and the processes surrounding them can be overwhelming if you aren’t well-versed on the law and your legal rights.
