After being rear-ended in a motor vehicle accident, I found myself facing a process that felt overwhelming, stressful, and full of uncertainty. From the very beginning, David Sowemimo and the entire team at Watchmaker Law provided exceptional guidance, support, and professionalism. One of the biggest challenges I faced after my accident was finding a healthcare team that genuinely listened to my concerns and prioritized my recovery. I struggled to establish care with professionals who were looking out for my best interests and addressing the full scope of my injuries and symptoms. Thanks to David's guidance and recommendations, I was connected with an incredible physician who went above and beyond to ensure my needs were being met. This included arranging appropriate investigations such as MRIs and X-rays, as well as helping address pain management, sleep issues, mental health concerns, and my overall recovery. David also recommended an outstanding care team that provided physiotherapy and mental health support, which ultimately led me to an amazing chiropractor and massage therapist. Having a coordinated team of professionals who genuinely cared about my wellbeing made a tremendous difference in my recovery journey. Throughout the entire legal process, David took the time to explain every step in a way that was clear, understandable, and respectful. No question was ever too small, and I always felt informed and confident about what was happening with my case. His knowledge, patience, and genuine compassion helped make an incredibly difficult situation much easier to navigate. What stood out most was the level of communication and care I received. David and his associates were always there to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure I understood my options. I never felt like just another case file—I felt heard, valued, respected, and supported. If you are looking for a law firm that truly advocates for its clients and cares about both the legal outcome and the person behind the case, I cannot recommend Watchmaker Law highly enough.

In Alberta, workplace injuries are usually processed through the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). However, if your injury involved a negligent third party (such as an external contractor or a motor vehicle accident while working), you may have legal options beyond the standard WCB claim process.
You may still be entitled to compensation even if you share some responsibility for what happened. Alberta’s approach to shared fault can reduce, rather than eliminate, a claim. We assess the specific circumstances of your accident to explain how shared fault might apply to your situation.
Not necessarily. Some disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If litigation becomes necessary, our law firm in Edmonton can represent you in court.
Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront legal fees, and our firm’s fee is calculated as a percentage of the financial settlement or court award recovered on your behalf.
Following a motor vehicle accident, seek medical attention immediately to address and document any injuries. Document the scene, gather contact details from involved parties and witnesses, and notify your vehicle insurer. Consulting an Edmonton lawyer before signing insurance agreements helps protect your right to full compensation.
