All drivers in Alberta are supposed to have liability insurance in case they cause an accident. There are a few who do not, and they usually don’t have the money to pay for the damages and injuries they have caused. Sometimes the guilty driver flees the scene of the accident, and the victim doesn’t know who to sue.

If the accident occurred in Alberta, The Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act protects victims of uninsured and unknown drivers by ensuring they have someone from whom to recover damages for personal injury.
