40+ Years of Experience
Hit-and-Run on Rural Cycling Route
A competitive cyclist sustained serious spinal injuries and a traumatic brain injury after being struck from behind by a motorist who left the scene.
Because the driver was initially unidentified, the client faced uncertainty regarding insurance coverage and possible recovery options. Our lawyers assisted with exploring available avenues of compensation involving an unidentified motorist.
After witness information helped identify the driver, the claim was advanced to pursue compensation for rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, future care requirements, and other accident-related losses.
Past results are not necessarily indicative of future outcomes.
Intersection Right-Hook Collision
A recreational cyclist sustained a complex tibial plateau fracture after being struck by a vehicle making a right turn through an intersection.
The injury required surgery and permanent hardware implantation. The insurer raised comparative-negligence arguments during the claim.
Our lawyers reviewed the driver’s obligation to yield and pursued compensation for ongoing mobility limitations, future treatment requirements, income loss, and the long-term impact of the injury.
Dooring Incident on Whyte Avenue
A commuter cyclist sustained a broken collarbone, concussion, and significant soft-tissue injuries after a motorist opened a parked vehicle door into an active bike lane.
The insurer initially alleged that the cyclist shared responsibility for the incident. Our bicycle accident lawyers reviewed the motorist’s obligation to ensure it was safe before opening a vehicle door into traffic.
Through the claims process, the client pursued compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, bicycle-related expenses, and income lost while unable to work.
Frequently Asked Questions: Bicycle Accidents in Alberta
What is the average settlement for a bicycle accident in Alberta?
Compensation in bicycle accident cases in Alberta can vary significantly depending on factors such as injury severity, liability, and available insurance coverage. More serious injuries involving permanent impairment may result in higher compensation due to ongoing care needs and loss of income.
How long does it take to settle a bicycle accident claim in Alberta?
Most bicycle accident claims in Alberta do not have a fixed timeline, as each case depends on specific facts. Some claims may resolve within several months once liability is clear and medical recovery has progressed, while others, particularly those involving serious injuries or disputed liability, can take a year or more. Alberta personal injury claims often require patience to identify and document the full extent of injuries and losses.
Do I need a lawyer for a bicycle accident in Alberta?
While not legally required, having a bicycle accident lawyer may help you understand your options and the compensation available. Insurance companies often undervalue cycling injuries or attempt to assign partial blame to cyclists. Our bicycle accident lawyers can help respond to the insurer’s position and pursue a fair resolution.
What compensation can I receive for a bicycle accident in Calgary?
Bicycle accident victims in Calgary may receive compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and more. Our bicycle accident lawyer team works to identify potentially available damages and support your claim for appropriate compensation.
