Considerations That May Limit the Amount of Your Personal Injury Damage Award


December 19, 2022

If you have been injured in an accident, you may decide to file a claim and seek compensation for your losses from the at-fault party. We have discussed the kinds of damages that you may be able to make a claim for in this post. They include damages for financial losses, like lost income if your injuries prevent you from working, as well as general damages for things like pain and suffering or esthetic prejudice (e.g., disfiguring injuries that may require plastic surgery or dental surgery).

If you have been in an accident, you may have suffered injuries that prevented you from working while you recovered, or that will prevent you from returning to the same job – or even working at all – in the future. The person responsible for your injuries may have an obligation to compensate you for your lost income. But how are those losses calculated?

Past Loss of Income

The amount of salary that you may have lost before your case goes to trial, or before a settlement is reached is known as past loss of income and is often fairly straight-forward to quantify. Continue reading

CAM LLP supports The Mustard Seed’s mission to be agents of change in our community


November 2, 2022

Our firm is deeply committed to supporting local organizations that operate to make Edmonton a caring and compassionate community. That’s one of the reasons we are proud to support The Mustard Seed. This non-profit organization has been caring for people experiencing homelessness and poverty since 1984. This year, we chose to show our support by donating funds and backpacks filled with basic needs items to Mustard Seed’s campaign for women transitioning out of incarceration.

On October 27th, Denise McGonigal and Tammy Vasseur, members of our firm, had the opportunity to visit The Mustard Seed’s facilities in Edmonton. During their visit, they met with Debbie, one of their Chaplains, who explained the broad scope of services provided as part of the transitioning program and gave them a tour of the new Wellness Centre.

Functional Capacity Evaluations: What Are They And What Are My Rights?


October 19, 2022

If you have been injured in an accident, you may have spent some time off work to heal and recover from your injuries. At some point along your healing journey, your employer and/or your insurer may begin to contemplate your return to work. They may want to know how well you have healed and what kinds of tasks you may or may not be able to resume.  

To assess your condition, they may ask you to attend an examination known as a residual employability assessment or Functional Capacity Evaluation (“FCE”). 

An FCE may be part of plans for a gradual return to work. Continue reading

National Truth and Reconciliation Day 2022


September 26, 2022

Please note that on Friday, September 30th, 2022, our office will close at noon in observance of National Truth and Reconciliation Day.

At CAM LLP, we are taking this time to remember the generations of Indigenous children who survived Canada’s Residential School system and those children who never returned home. We honour their memory and the resilience, dignity, and strength of the survivors, their families, and their communities.

One event going on in our community to support NTRD is the Orange Shirt Day run/walk. The event aims to raise funds for OrangeShirtDay.org and local grassroots movements, including promoting and supporting Indigenous athletes. Continue reading
