Motor Vehicle Accident Personal Injury Claims in Alberta 2016-2017

Government of Alberta data on claims paid for personal injury compensation under the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims program. It includes the total number of claims, total amount paid, and breakdowns of recoverable and unrecoverable claims for the 2016-2017 period. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in total_amount_paid per claim over the two-year period.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined two-year period (2016-2017).
• Includes distinct metrics: total claims, amount paid, and recoverability status.
• Published by a provincial government authority (Government of Alberta).

Limitations

• Limited temporal scope with only two years of data.
• Unknown row count and granularity (e.g., daily, monthly, yearly aggregates).
