Car and Truck Accidents:

From highway collisions on the QEII to crashes on 17th Avenue SW, motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries to road-users.

Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents:

Riders are particularly vulnerable to accidents and life-changing injuries when they’re struck by larger vehicles.

Pedestrian Accidents:

Busy intersections and crosswalks in Calgary, like Stephen Avenue, see far too many incidents caused by careless and inattentive drivers, motorcycle riders, or cyclists.

Slip and Falls:

Alberta winters create constant hazards. Property owners are meant to take care of icy sidewalks, broken stairs, and other dangers. When they don’t, severe accidents can happen.

Dog Bites and Attacks:

In Alberta, the Dangerous Dogs Act makes dog owners legally responsible for controlling their animals. Attacks can cause both physical injuries to victims and long-lasting emotional trauma.

Boating Accidents:

While the landscape in and around Calgary is beautiful, lakes and rivers in the province can be dangerous when safety rules are ignored. This often leads to serious or fatal accidents.

ATV and Off-Highway Vehicle Accidents:

Although the Alberta Traffic Safety Act lays out rules and safety regulations for the use of ATVs and other off-road vehicles, a lack of external protection and hazardous trail conditions can result in severe injuries.

Product Liability Accidents:

When companies manufacture and sell to consumers, they are expected to create safe and reliable products. When failure to provide accurate warnings or discrepancies in the assembly process result in injuries, victims may be entitled to file personal injury claims.

Winning a personal injury case in Alberta requires more than just proving you were hurt. It means connecting the dots between another party’s negligence and the harm you’ve suffered. Courts and insurers want clear, detailed evidence that both establishes responsibility and shows the full extent of your losses. 

To build a strong and compelling personal injury claim, four key elements must typically be proven:

1. Duty of Care: The defendant had a legal responsibility to act with care towards other parties. For example, they were reasonably expected to follow traffic laws, ensure their property was safe for visitors, or provide a hazard-free work environment.
2. Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care. Examples include distracted driving, ignoring safety regulations, or leaving icy sidewalks unmaintained.

3. Causation: It must be demonstrated that the negligent action or inaction was directly responsible for your injury. Your Calgary personal injury lawyer may help you gather expert medical records, witness statements, and accident reconstructions to prove this.
4. Damages: You must show that you suffered measurable harm, whether physical, emotional, or financial, as a result of the accident. Evidence here might include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Our Calgary personal injury lawyers at Preszler Injury Lawyers know how to consolidate these elements into a strong, evidence-backed case. We work with accident reconstruction specialists, medical practitioners, and financial experts to paint a full picture of how the defendant’s negligence has affected your life. Then, we use that evidence to negotiate with insurers or, if necessary, take your case to court before a judge. 

By approaching each case with precision and care, we aim to maximize your chances of obtaining the compensation you deserve. When you have Preszler Injury Lawyers on your side, you can feel confident that no detail will be overlooked.

Whiplash, sprains, and strains are common after car crashes and slip-and-fall accidents. These types of injuries might seem minor at first, but they can develop into serious chronic pain conditions with time.

High-impact collisions and falls often lead to broken bones, which may require surgery, rehabilitation, and months off work.

Head trauma, like concussions, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can affect a victim’s memory, concentration, mood, ability to work, and more. Symptoms of head injuries are not always immediately apparent, making timely medical attention important.

Back and spinal cord injuries can be extremely serious. Injured individuals may experience partial or complete paralysis that drastically alters their day-to-day life. Even less severe back and neck injuries can cause lasting mobility issues and significant impacts on quality of life.

Cuts from broken glass, machinery, or dog attacks can leave permanent scars or nerve damage.

Depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are commonly experienced by accident victims in the aftermath of their incident. These invisible injuries can be just as debilitating as physical harm, and equally complicated to treat.
