Snowmobile Accidents FAQs

What should I do after a snowmobile accident?

Immediately after a snowmobile accident, prioritize your safety and health. Seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t feel seriously injured, as some symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Document the scene by taking photographs and collecting witness information. Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your legal options and protect your rights.

Can I file a claim if the accident happened on private property?

Yes, you can file a claim for injuries sustained on private property. If the accident was caused by unsafe conditions on the property, such as unmarked hazards or poorly maintained trails, the property owner may be held liable for your injuries. A lawyer can help you determine who is responsible.

What if I wasn’t wearing a helmet during the accident?

Not wearing a helmet may complicate your claim, but it doesn’t automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. While helmets are critical for safety, other factors will also be considered, such as the actions of other parties involved or defective equipment. An experienced lawyer can help you understand your rights.

How long do I have to file a snowmobile accident claim?

In Alberta, there are time limits for filing personal injury claims, known as the statute of limitations. Typically, you have two years from the date of the accident to file your claim. However, it’s essential to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that you don’t miss any important deadlines.
