Fracture settlements
in Alberta.

Alberta applies the common-law contributory-reduction framework for fracture claims, with the apportionment determined on the facts rather than by statutory bright line. The discretion gives judges and juries flexibility in mixed-liability fracture cases, and outcomes track closely to the perceived reasonableness of the claimant's conduct.

Alberta's caps (andrews cap (non-pecuniary), minor injury cap) apply to the non-economic component of fracture damages and can compress upper-tier verdicts. The exact application depends on the cause of action and the head of damage; the caps section on this page sets out each ceiling and the conditions under which it bites.
