Gather personal and insurance information from the other party
Do I Have an Auto Injury Case?

-
You Suffered a Physical, Mental, or Emotional Injury: Seek immediate medical attention if injured. Get treatment for all the injuries, even the minor ones and get them evaluated. Collect copies of any medical reports, treatment plans, etc.

Do I Have a Claim?
If you have suffered any of the above injuries due to someone else’s negligence, you likely have a case.
However, it is not advisable to assume that:
-
You are not eligible for compensation because your injuries are too small or insignificant. Some injuries such as whiplash, sprains, and strains - often take time to present symptoms fully. These injuries might not seem serious initially but can transform into long-term, chronic pain down the line.
-
You do not have a case. If you are uncertain about whether your case qualifies as a personal injury claim, it’s important to get professional advice. Our experienced injury lawyers at Stephens Holman Devraj can help you determine what you are entitled to.
-
You cannot afford legal representation. We will not request any payment from you until we secure a reasonable settlement for you.
Can I afford a Lawyer?
Many people hesitate to access the legal aid they require because of the cost of legal services. At our personal injury law firm in Calgary, we believe in making our services accessible to our clients. We offer free initial consultations. On top of that, our clients only pay us when they get paid. Our clients don't have to pay for our services till their claim is settled and they receive the amount from the other party.
The Timeline of the Legal Process
Every personal injury claim is different. Minor injuries heal quickly, with the claims settling in as little as a few months. The extent of the consequences of more severe injuries takes a long time to appear, which changes the timeline of the settlement. The length of time depends on factors such as the duration of time it took you to heal completely (Maximum Medical Improvement), the number of people involved, and the complications. Generally, most settlements outside of Court take around three years.

Value of the Compensation
You might be entitled to compensation if you suffered a mental, physical, or emotional injury due to someone else's negligence. However, things become more challenging when you consider the specific dollar amount of the payout. The following are some questions that come to mind:
What If I Am Partially Responsible for My Injuries?
Being partially responsible for your injuries doesn't mean you won't receive compensation. The Courts look at the facts surrounding the case and determine 'liability.' You might be seen as liable to some degree, reducing the compensation amount.
What If the Person Who Hurt Me Doesn’t Have Insurance?
In most cases, the province covers compensation costs if your claim is against an uninsured individual. Additionally, stipulations in relevant laws might cover certain expenses. For instance, if in a motor vehicle accident claim, the provincial funds are insufficient for you, you might be entitled to compensation from your automobile insurance policy if it has SEF 44 coverage.

Testimonials
100% Recommend this Law Firm
I would 100% recommend this law firm, especially Azra! She was really easy to work with, always responding to my calls and emails quickly and professionally! Getting into an MVA is extremely stressful and working with Azra throughout this settlement process really alleviated much of the stress. She worked really hard on my claim, and I couldn't have done it without her. Can't recommend Azra and Stephens Holman Devraj Barristers & Solicitors enough!!
Our Legal Services
Accidents on the road can happen at any time. Injuries and damage to your vehicle are common side-effects of being involved in a motor vehicle accident. We can help you explore your legal options if you have sustained injuries in an accident.
If your injuries fall under the minor injury regulations, then your claim might be capped at a regulated amount referred to as a CAP claim. However, some claims that appear to be CAP claims, may fall outside of this CAP. It is important to seek legal advice.
If you have lost a loved one and believe another party to be at fault, you may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. This allows certain family members to get financial compensation for their loss, and we, at Stephens Holman Devraj, can help you with your claim.
Accidents can cause long-term disabilities and prevent you from going back to life as you knew it. In such scenarios, we aim to help you in getting your long-term disability benefits and the means for the best possible quality of life.
Our services include notarization of documents, administering oaths, affirmations, and solemn declarations.
Panic can worsen the situation at the site of the accident. Try to stay calm, seek immediate medical attention, and retain information related to the accident so that it can help you get compensation and justice.
