Alberta MVA Companion Guide

After a collision in Alberta, Section B accident benefits pay for your treatment no matter who was at fault. What you receive is assessed from your medical records, the forms carry deadlines, and a rule called the minor injury cap can limit what a claim is worth. What you write down in the first weeks is what the rest of it gets built from.

This Alberta Companion Guide is your local map. It works alongside the Hurt Square National MVA Recovery Guide and adds what is specific to Alberta:

• Your Section B accident benefits, what they cover and for how long
• The AB-1, AB-1A and AB-2 forms and the deadlines that come with them
• The minor injury cap in plain terms, and the serious injuries it does not touch
• A full set of fillable worksheets to record your recovery from the first day

Whether you were a driver, a passenger, a pedestrian or a cyclist, a clear record is what lets your account be heard. This is a fillable PDF you can complete on a phone, tablet or computer. Pairs with the National MVA Recovery Guide.

Alberta's system is also changing. For collisions on or after 1 January 2027, a care-first model replaces the current one, and the date of your collision rather than the date you file decides which applies. This guide covers the system in force today.
