Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Serving Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon
Hammer Injury Law can handle your injury claim to help you get the compensation you need!
Experienced Pedestrian Accident Representation When You Need It Most
A pedestrian accident can happen without warning. One moment you’re crossing the street, walking through a parking lot, or using a sidewalk, and the next you’re facing serious injuries and an uncertain future.
Because pedestrians have no protection from the force of a vehicle, these collisions often result in significant injuries that require lengthy medical treatment and rehabilitation. At the same time, many injured pedestrians are left trying to manage insurance claims, lost income, and questions about what comes next.
Founded by Rick Mallett, a lawyer with more than 35 years of legal experience, Hammer Injury Law is dedicated exclusively to injury law. Having spent the first decade of his career representing insurance companies, Rick understands how insurers investigate pedestrian accident claims and uses that experience to advocate for injured Albertans.
We proudly represent clients throughout Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon. Your consultation is free, and you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Pedestrian accidents often involve catastrophic injuries, lengthy recoveries, and significant financial uncertainty. Our role is to protect your interests while you focus on healing.
We investigate how the collision occurred, gather the evidence needed to support your claim, communicate with insurers on your behalf, and pursue compensation that reflects both your current losses and your future needs. Whether your claim settles through negotiation or requires litigation, we’ll guide you through every stage of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your health should always come first. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, report the accident if you can, and keep records of your treatment and expenses. Before accepting an insurance settlement, consider speaking with a pedestrian accident lawyer to understand your rights.
Possibly. Every pedestrian accident is different, and being outside a marked crosswalk does not automatically prevent you from pursuing compensation. Liability depends on the circumstances of the collision and should be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, future care costs, and other losses resulting from your injuries.
Your consultation is free, and we represent injured clients on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
In Alberta, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to start a personal injury lawsuit. Some exceptions may apply, so it is still important to speak with a lawyer promptly and avoid waiting until the deadline is approaching.
Probably not. Most pedestrian accident claims are resolved through negotiation. If court becomes necessary, we’ll explain the process, prepare you for each stage, and advocate for your interests throughout your claim.
