Personal Injury Law

Our personal injury law practice addresses cases arising from motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and animal bites. We advocate for clients suffering physical, psychological, or emotional injuries caused by negligence. With expertise in Alberta's legal framework, we negotiate with insurance companies to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our contingency fee model ensures clients only pay upon successful resolution.

Wrongful Death Claims

We represent families seeking justice for loved ones lost to negligent driving, pedestrian accidents, or aviation failures. Our team navigates Alberta's Fatal Accidents Act to recover compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional trauma. We handle complex cases involving motor vehicle fatalities and workplace accidents, ensuring families receive financial support while focusing on healing.

CAP Claims

Specializing in Alberta's Minor Injury Regulation, we assist clients with sprains, strains, and whiplash claims capped at $6,061. Our lawyers identify exceptions allowing claims exceeding the cap, particularly for injuries evolving into chronic conditions. We compile medical documentation to prove injury severity and negotiate settlements covering treatment costs and lost earnings.

Long-Term Disability Claims

We challenge insurance denials for disabilities caused by cardiovascular disease, cancer, brain injuries, and chronic pain. Our team reviews policy details, gathers medical evidence, and appeals rejected claims. We specialize in cases involving PTSD, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disorders, ensuring clients receive monthly benefits or lump-sum settlements for ongoing care.

Notary Services

Our notary services include document authentication, oath administration, and statutory declarations. Lawyers verify signatures on property transfers, wills, and business agreements, ensuring legal validity across Canada and international jurisdictions. We assist with affidavit swearing, true copy certifications, and witnessing of contracts, providing mobile services for client convenience.
