These leading causes of car accidents have a common denominator: driver negligence. If an injured party can prove the at-fault driver was negligent, they can request financial compensation for their injury-related losses. When our car accident lawyers represent you, we gather and organize the evidence to help prove the other person’s negligence and how your losses are related to the crash.

Edmonton Road and Weather Conditions
Contribute to Car Accidents

Winter weather in Edmonton can bring rain or snow during the day or night. Along with strong winds, decreased visibility, and slick roads, these conditions are a recipe for vehicle collisions that can lead to a personal injury claim.

These factors often contribute to car accidents, especially in local, high-accident areas and intersections such as the following in Edmonton:

Inclement weather and dangerous terrain conditions are clearly correlated to an increase in car accidents. Similarly, bad weather conditions can also increase the likelihood of certain types of accidents.

Common types of collisions due to weather and terrain conditions include: 

Another reason driver behaviour contributes to collisions is that many drivers do not operate vehicles with the necessary caution in rain or icy conditions. This contributes to the large number of accidents that occur in rainy and icy weather and the resulting loss that can lead to a personal injury claim.

Let an Edmonton Car Accident Lawyer Compile Evidence That Supports Your Case

On your own, you might struggle to simultaneously build your personal injury case and cope with your injuries. If your family lost a member to a fatal car accident, dealing with the legal aspects of the accident can be even more stressful. This is where the MNH Injury Lawyers car accident team comes in. We not only gather your evidence, but we also organize it and present it to the at-fault party and their insurance provider.

An experienced car accident lawyer at MNH Injury Lawyers will create an evidence file for you that tells your accident story clearly and logically. We build this file with the intent to resolve your case with a financial settlement that reflects fair and deserved compensation to you. Your file may include the following information or other details depending on your unique circumstances.

Intersection Safety Devices

The City of Edmonton has traffic control cameras in strategic locations around the city. Because the vast majority (70 percent) of all car accidents happen in intersections, the video footage from these devices can help us prove your right to compensation. It may even capture accident details you and witnesses may not have seen.

Medical Records

Our Edmonton personal injury lawyers can request, read, and review your medical records to establish the seriousness of the collision and its impact on your life. A complete medical summary can create a solid foundation for your personal injury claim.

Collision Report

In the aftermath of a car accident, the resulting police report can contain a wealth of information our accident injury team can use to build your case. It will include contact information for the driver, his insurer, witnesses, etc. We may obtain the full police file if necessary.

Photos and Video Footage

In today’s society, most people carry a smartphone with them at all times. Some drivers have dashcams installed to capture video of the actions of other vehicles on the road. You or your passengers may have videos of the accident scene and your damaged vehicle. In addition, passersby and witnesses might have captured images or footage of the accident that prove your right to recovery.

Witness Statements

Witnesses who saw your accident occur can assist in your case in a variety of ways. Because witnesses are usually strangers with no vested interest in the accident, their objective viewpoints are trusted and can help your case. Where necessary, our accident injury lawyers will locate and arrange for interviews of witnesses.

The at-fault party’s insurance company may offer you a settlement right away. We understand the temptation to accept—especially if your injuries mean you cannot work. However, the initial offer is usually low compared to the value of your claim. Settling early is risky because if you develop serious and chronic complications, you have settled for far less than the value of your claim.

When our accident injury team at MNH Injury Lawyers represents you, we make sure we have presented all the evidence we need to present to ensure you obtain full and fair value. We ensure all the expenses and losses related to your accident are known before entertaining or agreeing to a settlement offer.
