A criminal charge against the driver does not guarantee your recovery

A criminal charge against an impaired driver does not get you compensated, that is a separate civil claim. We pursue the at-fault driver, use your own uninsured coverage where they have none, and fight for your full compensation alongside the criminal case.

Being the victim of an impaired driver is not your fault, and recovery is your right. Get a free, confidential review in Alberta, no fee unless we win.

DUI & Impaired Driving Lawyer: common questions

The driver was charged criminally. Does that settle my claim?
No, the criminal process compensates you nothing. Your civil claim runs separately, and the charge or conviction becomes strong evidence in it.
The driver was acquitted. Do I still have a case?
Often yes. Civil claims use the balance-of-probabilities standard, which is easier to meet than proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Impairment can be established through other evidence.
What are punitive damages?
An additional award meant to punish conduct the court finds reprehensible, available in impaired-driving injury cases in appropriate circumstances. We assess whether your facts support them.
A bar over-served the driver. Does that matter?
It can. Commercial establishments owe duties around over-service, and adding a host defendant can add insurance coverage that makes full compensation realistic.
