The small receipts add up to real money you're owed

Special damages are the concrete, out-of-pocket costs of an injury: medical and prescription bills, physiotherapy, travel to appointments, home care, and lost wages. Insurers often overlook them. We help you document every expense from day one so nothing you paid for is left out.

Keep every receipt, and let us make sure they all count. Get a free, confidential review in Alberta, no fee unless we win.

Special Damages: common questions

I lost some receipts. Are those costs gone?
Not necessarily, pharmacy printouts, clinic records, and bank statements can reconstruct much of it. Start proper tracking now and we will rebuild what we can.
Can I claim for help my spouse and kids provide free?
Alberta law can compensate the value of care and housekeeping capacity you lost, even when family filled the gap unpaid. Log the hours and tasks.
Does the insurer pay my expenses as they happen?
Accident benefits may fund treatment as you go; other specials are typically recovered in the settlement. We structure benefits so treatment is not delayed while the claim runs.
Are future costs "special damages" too?
Future costs are claimed separately as cost of future care, projected and valued with expert evidence. Specials cover what has already been spent by settlement or trial.
