Calgary Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers

Calgary motor vehicle accident lawyers are the men and women lawyers of Calgary who handle motor vehicle accident cases for people that live in the Calgary area, or where the accident happened in the Judicial District of Calgary and the people live elsewhere, either in Alberta or even in another province or country.

Generally – though by no means always – lawyers only get involved if a motor vehicle accident was an injury accident.  Sometimes however there are important legal questions involved even if there were no injuries.  The extent of property damage involved, or questions as to whose fault the accident was may be important enough to warrant the involvement of counsel even if there were not injuries in the motor vehicle accident. This is especially true in cases involving truck drivers where a finding of fault can effect their ability to earn income.

The legal consequences that result from motor vehicle accidents are generally in proportion to the severity of the accidents.

In Canada, the criminal code makes it is a criminal offence if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident and you fail to stop and give your name and address – and if anyone requires assistance, to offer assistance – with the intent to escape civil or criminal liability.  This is commonly known as “hit and run” and it is contrary to section 252 of the Criminal Code of Canada and is known as “Failing to stop at scene of accident”.  It is also a provincial offence.

If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation, depending on the situation and whether you were the passenger or driver of the vehicle. 

You would likely be entitled to compensation (from insurance) in all of the following examples:

• You were the driver of vehicle A, which vehicle was hit by vehicle B and the accident was all – or partly – B’s fault.
• You were a passenger in the above example – either in either vehicle A or in vehicle B.  Some exceptions may apply.
• You were a passenger in vehicle A and vehicle A was involved in a single vehicle accident – for example, it crashed into a parked car, a telephone pole or it “hit the ditch” because the driver fell asleep.  Some exceptions may apply.
• You were crossing the street on foot and were hit by a car.

There are many, many more examples.  The point is that if you live in Calgary and you are involved in an automobile accident you should obtain immediate legal advice from Calgary motor vehicle accident lawyers.

The issue of insurance is a complex one.  Car insurance is mandatory for all vehicles in Alberta.  The Insurance Act of Alberta is the application legislation in this regard.  There are over 800 sections to the Insurance Act which you can view in it's entirety at the Queen's Printer. We suggest it is best to leave the interpretation of the Insurance Act up to your Edmonton motor vehicle accident lawyer.

The USA National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has an interesting website that contains an abundance of statistics on motor vehicle accidents.  Although this is a USA source it is likely that most of their findings are true for Canada as well. 

Here are some of the statistics for the USA for the year 2005 classified by type of accident:

• Rear Impacts: 1,824,000 accidents,
• Angle or side impacts:  1,779,000 accidents,
• Fixed-object impacts: 992,000 accidents,
• Collisions with animals: 275,000 accidents,
• Rollovers: 141,000 accidents,
• Head-On collisions: 123,000 accidents,
• Collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists: 114,000 accidents.

The rollover, head-on and pedestrian/bicycle accidents made up only 6.1% of the accidents, but 34.5% of the fatalities. The best motor vehicle accident lawyer is often one that will take your case on a contingency fee or percentage basis.

If you or someone you love has been in a motor vehicle motor vehicle accident of any kind you should obtain immediate legal advice.  If there has been a fatality or an injury in that accident you absolutely must obtain legal advice without delay. 

Calgary motor vehicle accident lawyers must be registered and in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
