Car accidents: changes coming January 1, 2027

Alberta is moving to a new Care-First auto insurance system for collisions that happen on or after January 1, 2027. Under Care-First, injured people receive benefits through insurance, and the right to sue is limited to specific circumstances — for example, where the at-fault driver is convicted of certain driving offences, or where out-of-pocket costs exceed what insurance provides.

For collisions before January 1, 2027, the current system applies, including the right to sue the at-fault driver (subject to the cap on damages for certain minor injuries). If you were injured in a collision in 2026, speak to a lawyer promptly.

Slip and falls

Property owners and occupiers must take reasonable care to keep visitors safe under Alberta's Occupiers' Liability Act. Claims against municipalities can involve short notice deadlines, so get advice quickly.

What compensation can include

• Pain and suffering
• Lost income and loss of earning capacity
• Medical and rehabilitation costs
• Care costs and out-of-pocket expenses

Deadlines

You generally have two years to start a lawsuit in Alberta, and shorter notice deadlines can apply. Keep records, photos, medical reports and receipts, and don't sign a release before getting advice.
