You Can Seek Non-Economic Damages for
Non-Monetary Losses
Non-economic damages pay for the physical and psychological damage inflicted by the pedestrian accident.
For example, you may have to deal with the consequences of:

You Lost a Loved One in Edmonton

Wrongful death cases yield different types of damages to a typical personal injury claim.
A wrongful death claimant can seek:
- Loss of financial support:
You depended on the deceased’s income, and now, you have to find other ways to support yourself. - Loss of emotional support:
Your relationship with the deceased was unique and irreplaceable. You cannot get the same type of comfort and affection from any other source. - End-of-life expenses:
You can seek damages for any money you spent to settle your loved one’s estate and honour their final wishes. - Statutory Damages:
The Fatal Accidents Act of Alberta defines statutory amounts for fatal accident injury claims.
Consider These Measures Following Your
Pedestrian Accident
Here are some measures that can bolster your claim:
Document Everything About Your Accident
All successful claims have one thing in common: evidence. The more evidence you have, the stronger your case.
We encourage you to keep records of:
- The time, date, location and any other details of the accident
- Your doctors’ appointments and healthcare providers’ names
- All accident-related invoices, bills, and receipts
- Correspondence between yourself and the involved parties (including the insurer)
We also encourage you to keep a journal regarding your recovery period. This is subject to solicitor-client privilege and may come in handy in understanding how the accident affected you.
Limit Your Social Media Presence
Avoid posting pictures, statuses, or posts during your case’s progression. Even if your privacy settings are airtight, they may still be accessed. We also advise against accepting requests from “friends of friends.”
Consider Your Legal Options
You have every right to seek legal counsel after getting hurt. MNH Injury Lawyers will do everything in its power to secure a just,
fair, and reasonable outcome for you.
We work on contingency. Payment for our help is contingent on winning your case. Otherwise, you don’t pay anything. If we win,
we charge you a percentage.
We Can Determine the Cause
of Your Pedestrian Accident in Edmonton
We will investigate your accident’s cause to determine liability.
Per the City of Edmonton’s Safe Mobility Strategy 2021-2025,
contributors to pedestrian accidents include:
- The weather:
Pedestrian accidents are more likely to occur during September and April. This is because there are more cars on the road (as opposed to bicycles or motorcycles). Bad weather also reduces visibility and makes it harder to control vehicles. - Driver inattention:
Most accidents are the result of driver error. Drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at intersections, turn left into the flow of traffic, and ignore traffic signals are more likely to cause collisions. - Your location:
Some neighbourhoods experience more traffic accidents than others. In Edmonton, your risk of being injured increases in some neighbourhoods more than others.
Pedestrians Can Protect Themselves
from Collisions in These Ways
Serious pedestrian accidents decreased 10 percent from 2015 to 2019, per Edmonton’s Safe Mobility Strategy.
This is great news for pedestrians. However, serious accidents can and do happen.
You can reduce the number of collisions by:
- Watching where you walk:
Stay on the sidewalk when possible, and always check for traffic before crossing the street. Do not cross if cars have the right of way. - Staying sober:
The dangers of drinking and driving are well-known. However, even walking the streets while drunk can endanger you. - Wearing reflective clothes:
If you go out at night, wear brightly-coloured clothes or add reflective patches. This way, drivers can
see you more easily.
