Calgary Personal Injury Law Experts
At our Calgary personal injury law firm, our lawyers aim to provide all of our clients the help, hope, and peace of mind that they deserve following their accident.
More Than Just Physical Suffering
Injuries can often have repercussions that last longer than the physical recovery process. If you or a loved one have been dealt with a sudden traumatic injury, you may find that it takes a toll on your long-term physical, mental, emotional, and financial well-being.
In addition, insurance companies don’t always account for the following when proposing a settlement for your injury claim:
- Loss of income
- Lifelong health issues
- Reduced quality of life
- An indeterminate amount of medical expenses due to the nature of your injury
- And more

Our goal is to help you get a fair settlement amount sufficient to recoup your losses, cover medical expenses, replace lost income, and provide financial security while you and your family focus on recovery.
Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Protection Against Insurance Scams
The last thing insurance companies want to do is pay a claim. Any settlement offer is usually made immediately following the accident, without a full understanding of the victim’s injuries or losses. This can mean a low offer that will hardly cover the victim’s needs, or no offer by arguing that the claim is invalid.
People are most vulnerable when they’re scared and hurting, and car accident victims often take the first offer presented to them, not knowing they could get so much more. Once payment is accepted, the victim cannot sue, nor file a new claim for more money. For insurance companies, this is their best-case scenario.
Bigger Settlements
A study by the Insurance Research Council showed that personal injury claimants who hired a specialized car accident lawyer to represent them received settlements up to 3½ times larger than those who filed their own claim. This could mean thousands of extra dollars in your pocket for recovery.

How a Personal Injury Claim Works
Overview
Filing a ‘claim’ means telling the insurance company representing the person or persons who caused your injuries you are enforcing your legal right to be compensated (or paid) for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering. The first step is a formal legal demand made with the help of your personal injury lawyer. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate a fair settlement based on the formal demand, then your attorney will file a lawsuit, and your claim is officially considered a ‘case’.
Notify the Insurance Companies
As soon as possible following the accident, you should notify your insurance company, as well as the insurance company of the party who caused your injuries. Only provide basic information about the accident, such as the date and approximate time. Do not answer any questions, admit fault, or accept any settlement offers. You are simply putting it on record that an accident occurred and that you were injured. Your attorney will communicate with them from that point forward.
