There are few accidents more horrifying. Pedestrians and cyclists simply have no defense against automobiles.

We can help you claiming compensation for what you have lost in the accident.
Yet these types of collisions happen every day in Edmonton.
When they do, the victims of these accidents are sometimes in for a nasty surprise: they learn the driver’s insurance policy isn’t eager to pay them one cent for their injuries, lost opportunities, pain, or suffering.
Indeed, they tend to find out very quickly that the insurance company hopes to blame them for the accident so they can get out of paying anything at all.
Pedestrians and Cyclists Don’t Get Automatic Wins
There are numerous times in the body of Alberta case law that pedestrians and cyclists lose cases. Courts find that they broke traffic laws, or left the safety of the curb. Sometimes cyclists and pedestrians don’t do anything wrong, but the courts still rule that the motorist had absolutely no way to see them coming or to stop on time.
The defense is certainly going to attempt to take advantage of this precedent. They will look for any opportunity to reduce their liability at your expense.
Even when they make you an offer it’s likely to be much lower than you’ll need to pay for your long-term care. This is because injuries from these accidents tend to be extensive, and expensive. Once you sign off they win, because you can’t sue them for more.
