A Guide to Section B Benefits in Alberta: Free Downloadable E-Book

Published: September 21, 2026 | Last Reviewed: September 21, 2026

Following a motor vehicle collision, getting immediate medical care and covering unexpected bills are urgent priorities. In Alberta, mandatory accident coverage built into your auto policy provides essential financial relief regardless of who caused the crash. These standard provisions are known as Section B accident benefits.

While Section B benefits exist to support your recovery, navigating treatment approvals, disability payments, and paperwork with insurance adjusters can quickly become confusing. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we believe injured individuals make the best decisions when they are fully informed about their legal protections.

To help injured drivers, passengers, and pedestrians understand their rights, our legal team has published A Guide to Section B Benefits in Alberta. This free e-book breaks down how accident benefits function under current provincial law and details the major structural changes approaching in 2027.

What You Will Learn in This Free Resource

Our comprehensive digital guide provides clear, practical information to help you access the benefits you are owed without delay. Inside the e-book, you will find:

• Covered Medical and Rehabilitation Services: A complete breakdown of covered treatments, including physiotherapy, chiropractic care, psychological counselling, prescription drugs, and medical equipment under the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation.
• Weekly Income Replacement Provisions: How disability benefits function if your injuries prevent you from working, including eligibility criteria, weekly payment caps, and duration limits.
• Essential Filing Deadlines: Step-by-step guidance on completing Notice of Claim forms (Form AB-1) and medical reports (Form AB-2) within strict statutory timelines set by the Insurance Act (Alberta).
• Section B Benefits vs. Tort Claims: How primary accident benefits work alongside a third-party claim against an at-fault driver for full losses under the Contributory Negligence Act.
• Common Insurer Disputes and Denials: What actions to take if your insurance carrier terminates your benefits, orders an independent medical exam, or claims your recovery period has ended.

Essential Update: How Alberta’s 2027 Care-First No-Fault Shift Impacts You

The Government of Alberta has passed legislation under Bill 47 to replace the province’s current tort-based system with a “Care-First” no-fault insurance model effective January 1, 2027.

Under the upcoming 2027 Care-First system, standard Section B benefits as we know them will be replaced by an expanded schedule of first-party coverage administered directly by private insurers. While the provincial government promises broader medical coverage under this framework, injured Albertans will lose the right to sue at-fault drivers for pain and suffering damages or future loss of income in most cases.

If your accident occurs before January 1, 2027, your claim remains under the current tort system. You retain the legal right to access Section B benefits while simultaneously suing a negligent party for comprehensive damages. However, strict time limits under the Limitations Act (Alberta) apply. Reading our guide will help you preserve your rights under the existing legal framework before systemic changes take effect.
