Crosswalk Collision on Memorial Drive
A teacher was struck while using a marked crosswalk, suffering multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury requiring extensive rehabilitation. The driver’s insurance initially made a settlement offer, claiming poor visibility. Our pedestrian accident lawyers reviewed the circumstances with reference to Section 41(1) of Alberta’s Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulation (Alta Reg 304/2002), which outlines drivers’ duties at crosswalks. We assisted the client in pursuing compensation under the Insurance Act (RSA 2000, c I-3) that addressed rehabilitation needs, income loss, and other applicable damages.
Frequently Asked Questions: Pedestrian Accidents in Alberta
What is the average settlement for a pedestrian accident in Alberta?
Settlement amounts vary based on injury severity and individual circumstances. Pedestrian accident claims may involve higher compensation where injuries are serious. Compensation can range from lower amounts for minor injuries to higher awards in cases involving catastrophic or permanent disabilities, depending on the facts of the case. Our pedestrian injury lawyers can help explain what types of compensation may be available in your situation.
How long does it take to settle a pedestrian accident claim in Alberta?
Most pedestrian accident claims in Alberta are resolved within 1-3 years. Simple cases may settle in months, while complex cases involving severe injuries may take longer. Our pedestrian accident lawyers work to move your claim forward efficiently while helping you pursue fair compensation.
What if I were partially at fault for my pedestrian accident?
Alberta follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if partially at fault, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our pedestrian accident lawyers review the circumstances of your case and help you understand how fault may affect your claim.
Can I claim for psychological trauma after being hit as a pedestrian?
Yes, psychological injuries, including anxiety, PTSD, and depression, are compensable following a pedestrian accident in Alberta. Our pedestrian injury lawyers help document these impacts as part of your claim, where appropriate.
