In Alberta, an owner's responsibility doesn't end with 'he's never done that before'

Dog owners in Alberta are responsible for injuries their animals cause, and a serious bite can leave lasting scars, nerve damage, infection, and deep emotional trauma, especially for children. We identify every source of coverage, including the owner's home insurance, and pursue full compensation.

A dog bite is more than a wound; it can be a lasting fear. Get a free, confidential review of your Alberta claim, no fee unless we win.

Dog Bite Lawyer in Alberta: common questions

The dog belongs to a friend or relative. I don't want to sue them.
The claim is made against their homeowner or tenant insurance policy, which exists for exactly this. Most owners would rather their insurance respond than see you absorb the cost of their dog's attack.
The owner says the dog has never bitten anyone before.
A first bite does not excuse liability where the owner was negligent, off-leash violations, ignored warning signs, or inadequate control are enough. Animal-control records sometimes tell a different story anyway.
My child was bitten. How is that handled?
Children's claims have extra protections: settlements typically require court approval, and limitation periods generally do not run during childhood. Scarring on a child is treated seriously by courts.
What if I was bitten at my job (delivery, utility work)?
You may have both a WCB claim and, depending on circumstances, a claim against the dog owner. The interaction is technical, we sort out which routes apply.
