After You Submit a Claim
- The City of Edmonton will assign an Adjuster to handle your claim
- An acknowledgement letter will be sent within 21 business days*
- The investigation process can take between 120 and 180 days or longer*
- Written response with either an acceptance or denial will be provided once the investigation is completed
- Periods where we receive a high volume of incoming claims may increase normal response time, and we ask for your patience and understanding
*The times given are best estimates. Claims Management staff are currently experiencing delays in the claims handling process and are making every effort to acknowledge and process claims as quickly as possible.
If you are unable to reach a satisfactory conclusion during that time period and wish to pursue the matter further, you must bring a legal action against the City, otherwise your legal right to recover damages from the City and/or its employees will be forever lost.
*The timelines for initiating legal actions are set out in Alberta’s Limitations Act, RSA 2000 c L-12. Exceptions may apply. Please consult a lawyer for further details.
