Pedestrian cases: severe injuries, strong claims
A pedestrian struck at even 30 km/h can suffer fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries. Alberta law puts a heavy onus on drivers around crosswalks, intersections, school zones, and parking lots, and when a driver fails to yield, the resulting claim is often strong, if it is built properly.
Insurers respond by attacking what you were doing: jaywalking, dark clothing, looking at your phone. We answer with the evidence: signal timing, sight lines, camera footage, and reconstruction where needed.
Compensation for a pedestrian injury
- Pain and suffering (general damages) for the injury itself and its effect on your life
- Lost income and lost earning capacity, past and future
- Medical and rehabilitation costs including physiotherapy, medication, and equipment
- Cost of future care for lasting injuries
- Housekeeping and loss of valuable services you can no longer perform
- Out-of-pocket expenses from mileage to childcare
Even as a pedestrian, you are generally entitled to no-fault accident benefits under the striking vehicle's policy, which can fund physiotherapy and other treatment while your claim proceeds.
Alberta Accident Law works on a full contingency basis: you pay nothing unless we win. There are no hourly rates, no retainers, and no bill if your claim does not succeed. Your case review is free, confidential, and carries no obligation, so finding out where you stand costs you nothing.
Walking in Red Deer
Red Deer sits on Canada’s busiest highway corridor, and a steady mix of commuter, commercial, and lake traffic puts central Albertans in collisions every year.
Under Alberta's Limitations Act you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to start a claim, and some situations carry much shorter notice deadlines. Evidence also degrades quickly: skid marks fade, camera footage is overwritten, and witnesses forget. Red Deer injury lawsuits are heard at the Red Deer Justice Centre, in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta. Smaller claims may proceed in the Alberta Court of Justice. The sooner we start, the stronger your position.
Serious injuries in central Alberta are treated at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, the trauma hub for the entire region between Calgary and Edmonton. Keep every record, requisition, and receipt from your treatment: medical documentation is the backbone of your claim, and we help you build it correctly from day one.
