Frequently Asked Questions About

Pedestrian Injury Claims

Do I have a valid pedestrian injury claim?

If you were injured due to a driver’s negligence while walking, you likely have a claim. Contact us for a free consultation to assess your case and determine the best legal course of action.

In Alberta, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, there may be exceptions based on the circumstances. It’s critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss important deadlines.

If you are using a crosswalk, even if unmarked, pedestrians have the right of way and vehicles must yield to you. However, pedestrians using crosswalks in intersections with stop and go lights, or if directed by a police or peace office, may not have the right of way. It’s important to ensure you’re following all traffic laws, even as a pedestrian.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any future expenses related to your injury and recovery.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case and the cooperation of the involved insurance companies. Typically, pedestrian injury cases can last at least two years, sometimes longer. We recommend our clients work with us, as even though the wait can be long, the results are almost always better in the long run!

We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t have to pay unless we win your case. This ensures that there’s no financial burden on you while pursuing your claim.

The process to begin your claim is simple. Contact Braithwaite Boyle for a free consultation, and we’ll evaluate your case. We’ll gather important evidence, such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements, to build a strong claim on your behalf. We’ll handle the entire process, keeping you informed every step of the way while fighting for the best possible outcome.
