Edmonton Personal Injury Lawyers
Edmonton personal injury lawyers are the men and women lawyers of Edmonton that handle the personal injury cases for people that live in the Edmonton, Alberta area or where the accidents happen in the Judicial District of Edmonton.
If you have suffered any type of personal injury, or if you have lost a loved one due to a personal injury, then it is important that you consult with a personal injury lawyer.
Personal injuries can arise in any number of ways, including:
- Car accidents,
- other motor vehicle accidents,
- a motorcycle accident,
- a farming accident,
- a slip and fall accident,
- a nursing home accident,
- defective products accidents,
- poorly designed equipment,
- getting injured in a house fire accident,
- a railway accident,
- an airport or airplane accident or full blown plane crash,
- an escalator accident,
- toxic chemicals,
- a medical malpractice accident,
- a dental malpractice accident,
- a birth injury,
- a dog bite accident,
The list is endless.
Not every personal injury situation gives rise to compensation. But more situations give rise to compensation than people generally realize. An Edmonton personal injury lawyer can advise you of the various legal options available to you in protecting your rights and obtaining compensation for your injuries – usually from an insurance company.
The "Minor Injury Regulation" was put in place by the government of Alberta in 2004. This law puts a “cap” on soft tissue injuries (sometimes called a "whiplash") in Alberta. The cap limits recovery for some (but not all) soft tissue injuries to a maximum of $4,000.00, plus inflation. If you have suffered a soft tissue (whiplash) injury then you need to discuss your situation and the whiplash injury with a personal injury lawyer and determine whether or not the cap applies to you. Be aware that lawyers are battling against this cap and the rules on it could change at any time.
If your personal injury arose from a car accident you may want to have a look at our Edmonton car accident lawyer website.
Edmonton personal injury lawyers – like all lawyers in Alberta – must be members of the Alberta Bar Association and they are regulated by the Law Society of Alberta.
If you have been injured in any way you owe it to yourself to obtain immediate legal advice.
It is important, in considering who your Edmonton personal injury lawyer is going to be, that you select one that is practical, experienced and knowledgeable of exactly how things work in Edmonton. They should have an office in Edmonton which is staffed full time and have been there for some years.
