Calgary Car Accident Lawyers

Calgary car accident lawyers are the men and women lawyers of Calgary who handle car accident cases for people that live in the Calgary area, or where the car accident happened in the Judicial District of Calgary and the people live elsewhere.

Generally – though by no means always – lawyers only get involved if a car accident was an injury accident. Sometimes however there are important legal questions involved even if there are no injuries. The extent of property damage involved, or questions as to whose fault the accident was may be important enough to warrant the involvement of counsel even if there were no injuries in the car accident.

The legal consequences that result from car accidents are generally in proportion to the severity of the accidents.

In Canada, the criminal code makes it is a criminal offence if you are involved in a car accident and you fail to stop and give your name and address – and if anyone requires assistance, to offer assistance – with the intent to escape civil or criminal liability. This is commonly known as “hit and run” and it is contrary to the “Failure to stop at scene of accident” part of the criminal code. This is section 252 of the Criminal Code. It is also a provincial offence.

If you are injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation, depending on the situation and whether you were the passenger or driver of the vehicle.

You would likely be entitled to compensation (from insurance) in all of the following examples:

• You were the driver of car A, which vehicle was hit by car B and the accident was all – or partly – B’s fault.
• You were a passenger in the above example – either in either car A or in car B. Some exceptions may apply.
• You were a passenger in car A and car A was involved in a single vehicle accident – for example, it crashed into a parked car, a telephone pole or it “hit the ditch” because the driver fell asleep. Some exceptions may apply.
• You were crossing the street on foot and were hit by a car.

There are many, many more examples. The point is that you should always obtain immediate legal advice from an experienced car accident lawyer upon being involved in any accident, no matter how small. The best car accident lawyer is often one that will take your case on a contingency fee or percentage basis.

The USA National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a website that contains an abundance of statistics on car accidents. Here are some of the statistics for the USA for the year 2005:

• Rear Impacts: 1,824,000 accidents,
• Angle or side impacts: 1,779,000 accidents,
• Fixed-object impacts: 992,000 accidents,
• Collisions with animals: 275,000 accidents,
• Rollovers: 141,000 accidents,
• Head-On collisions: 123,000 accidents,
• Collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists: 114,000 accidents.

The rollover, head-on and pedestrian/bicycle accidents made up only 6.1% of the accidents, but 34.5% of the fatalities. If you or someone you love has been in a car accident of any kind you should obtain immediate legal advice from an experienced car accident lawyer. If there has been a fatality or an injury in that accident you absolutely must obtain legal advice without delay.
