Your Personal Injury Lawyers in Calgary and Southern Alberta

A young professional was injured in a rear-end collision and experienced chronic neck pain and income disruption. The insurer initially assessed the claim as a minor injury. After reviewing the evidence, including the driver’s obligation to maintain a safe following distance under Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act, our team assisted the client in pursuing compensation for medical treatment, wage loss, and general damages. The matter ultimately resolved for an amount that reflected the ongoing impact of the injuries.

A construction worker fell from inadequately secured scaffolding, suffering a complete T10 spinal cord injury resulting in permanent paraplegia. The insurer alleged contributory negligence in response to the claim. Our spinal cord injury lawyers applied Section 2(1) of Alberta’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and Part 23 of the OHS Code, establishing multiple safety violations by the employer. We pursued compensation, covering lifetime medical care, home modifications, specialized mobility equipment, and loss of future earning capacity under the Workers’ Compensation Act (RSA 2000, c W-15), helping the client address the long-term financial consequences of life-altering injuries.

A newborn experienced severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy following a delay in delivery despite signs of fetal distress. Our birth injury lawyers reviewed the care provided in light of applicable professional standards and Alberta legislation, including the Health Professions Act. Through the civil claims process, the family pursued compensation to address long-term care needs, assistive supports, and quality-of-life considerations. (Past results are not necessarily indicative of future outcomes.)

A 62-year-old grandmother slipped on a recently mopped floor with no warning signs, suffering a broken hip requiring surgery and extended rehabilitation. The store initially made a modest offer, claiming she wasn’t watching where she was walking. Our slip and fall lawyers established liability under Section 5 of Alberta’s Occupiers’ Liability Act (RSA 2000, c O-4), demonstrating the store’s failure to take reasonable care to ensure visitor safety. We helped her pursue appropriate compensation covering surgical needs, rehabilitation support, home care considerations, and pain and suffering, properly accounting for her pre-existing osteoporosis under the thin skull rule established in Athey v. Leonati [1996] 3 SCR 458.
