- [Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Case in Alberta?](https://www.jameshbrown.com/do-i-have-a-medical-malpractice-case-in-alberta/): The 5 things that must be true before a lawsuit can advance  Medical malpractice claims are a complex area of law requiring a dedicated and experienced legal team. Cases often take several years to resolve, and success is not guaranteed. The risk of going to trial is significantly higher than in other types of injury cases, and not every lawyer will be able to dedicate the time and resources to advance your case to trial.  It is essential to understand that not every injury sustained in a care setting constitutes malpractice. Medicine is not a perfect science and is constantly adapting and evolving […]
- [Complication, Medical Misadventure, or Negligence? Can I Sue](https://www.jameshbrown.com/complication-medical-misadventure-or-negligence-can-i-sue/): Complication, Medical Misadventure, or Negligence? Can I sue?  When something goes wrong in a hospital or clinic, families often hear labels like “complication,” “adverse event,” or “medical misadventure.”   In Alberta, only two categories are generally actionable in tort (i.e., can lead to compensation): negligence and battery. By contrast, a complication or what we can call a “medical misadventure”1 (a reasonable but incorrect diagnosis or decision that, unfortunately, results in harm) are not actionable by themselves.  What do these terms mean?  Complication — A recognized risk that can occur even when care is reasonable. It becomes actionable only if the risk wasn’t properly disclosed (informed‑consent negligence) or if care fell below the standard and caused the harm […]

So, while these terms both consider the nature and severity of your injuries, it is critical that you  understand the difference so you can protect your rights. […]

- [What is Tort Law?](https://www.jameshbrown.com/what-is-tort-law/): What is tort law? Simply put, a tort is a wrong. Technically speaking, a tort is a civil wrong causing the claimant to suffer loss or harm, resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act (i.e., the wrong). Tort law provides a mechanism for people to seek compensation when they have been injured, or their property has been damaged by the wrongdoing of others.   It is important to note that torts are not legislated. This means that there are no laws that set out specific torts and corresponding penalties for tortfeasors (the person who commits the […]
- [Alberta Soft Tissue Injury Settlement: What to Expect with James H. Brown and Associates](https://www.jameshbrown.com/alberta-soft-tissue-injury-settlement-what-to-expect-with-james-h-brown-and-associates/): Even though many people consider them “minor,” soft tissue injuries can dramatically impact you and your family’s everyday life.

- [What Are Section B Benefits?](https://www.jameshbrown.com/what-are-section-b-benefits/): Motor vehicle accidents are stressful in and of themselves. When an accident causes injuries, the stress is compounded as accident victims require medical treatment but often do not have the means to pay. This is your auto insurance policy’s Section B benefits can help. In Alberta, injured parties are not responsible for costs associated with treatment. Under the Automobile Accident Insurance Benefits Regulation, your vehicle insurer is obligated to pay for treatment for up to 2 years after the accident. This is the case even when you are deemed “at fault” for an accident. These benefits are commonly referred to […]
- [Bill 41: What is Changing About Pre-Judgement Interest?](https://www.jameshbrown.com/bill-41-what-is-changing-about-pre-judgement-interest/): When you win a Personal Injury lawsuit, you will generally receive monetary damages. There are different types of damages or “heads” of damages, such as those to pay for pain and suffering or lost wages. In a Personal Injury Lawsuit, the successful party is usually entitled to have interest added to the money awarded by the Court. Pre-judgment interest is additional money that the Court awards based on the interest that the judgement would have earned from the period that passes between the start of the lawsuit to its conclusion. Why Does Pre-Judgement Interest Matter? Pre-judgment interest can be used […]
- [Left-Turn Accidents – Who is to Blame?](https://www.jameshbrown.com/left-turn-accidents-who-is-to-blame/): Unsafe left turns are a frequent cause of motor vehicle accidents, they occur regularly and can result in significant injuries for those involved. Left-turn accidents are the subject of lots of public discussions. Making a left turn across oncoming traffic can be dangerous at times, though it is not true that any time a left turn is made across oncoming traffic that the driver making the turn will be found to be at fault for the accident. What Is The Law Around Left Turns? Under Alberta’s Rules of the Road Regulation, a driver has an obligation not to make a […]
- [No-Fault Insurance: What Would It Mean For Albertans?](https://www.jameshbrown.com/no-fault-insurance-what-would-it-mean-for-albertans/): In some parts of Canada, provinces use a no-fault insurance system to determine how much accident victims are entitled to for their injuries. Today in Alberta, there has been talk of switching to a no-fault insurance system. If you’re unfamiliar with how insurance works, it can be confusing to figure out which system is better, and what would happen if Alberta were to switch? Keep reading to learn more about what no-fault insurance would mean for Albertans, as well as how James H. Brown and Associates supports accident victims and their families every step of the way. What is No-Fault […]
