If your claim needs to move forward to the litigation stage, then you must consider the following:

Under the Limitations Act of Alberta, a claim must be filed 2 years from the date that the claimant discovers or ought to have discovered the injury attributable to theconduct of the defendant which warranted the claim. Note that certain exceptions may apply, and you can contact our office to learn more.

If your Civil Claim is more than $50,000, then you can file your claim with the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench. In the Provincial Court of Alberta, you can file a claim for an amount up to $50,000.

Once your claim is filed, you must serve it on the Defendant. There are certain service requirements that must be met under the laws of Alberta. We can assist you in ensuring that service is properly conducted.
