If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an accident, the days that follow can be overwhelming. Between medical appointments, insurance calls, and uncertainty about what comes next, it can be hard to know where to turn. That’s where an experienced Edmonton injury lawyer comes in.
At Hammer Injury Law, we’re here to guide you from your very first consultation through to the resolution of your case. Whether you’re navigating a car accident claim, a catastrophic injury, or a complex insurance dispute, our role is to protect your rights, clarify your options, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
What to Expect from an Edmonton Injury Lawyer
Working with a personal injury lawyer shouldn’t feel intimidating or confusing. We believe in making the process clear, accessible, and personalized. Here’s what you can expect when you work with Hammer Injury Law in Edmonton.
Your First Step: A Free, No-Pressure Consultation
Our process starts with a free consultation—either in person, by phone, or over video conference. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a conversation. We want to understand what happened, what you’re going through, and what support you may need. We’ll also explain:
- Whether we believe you have a valid claim
- What kinds of compensation might be available
- How our contingency fee model works (you don’t pay unless we win)
This meeting is about clarity, not commitment. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your legal rights and next steps—even if you decide not to hire us.
How We Investigate and Build Your Case
If you choose to proceed, our team will begin by building the strongest possible foundation for your claim. That includes:
- Collecting police reports, medical records, and witness statements
- Working with accident reconstructionists and medical experts when needed
- Documenting how the injury has affected your daily life and future potential
This stage is critical. The quality and timing of your evidence can significantly affect the outcome of your case, especially when you’re up against powerful insurance companies.
Dealing with Insurance Companies on Your Behalf
From the moment you retain Hammer Injury Law, we deal with the insurance company so you don’t have to. No more phone tag, pressure to settle, or confusing letters in legalese. We handle it all:
- Filing claims
- Responding to insurer requests
- Pushing back against lowball offers
Many cases resolve through negotiation, and we have the experience to know what’s fair—and when to walk away from a bad deal. If the insurer won’t settle fairly, we’re always prepared to litigate.
Communication You Can Count On
We know this process can feel unfamiliar and stressful. That’s why we make it a priority to communicate clearly and consistently. Throughout your case, we will:
- Provide regular updates
- Return your calls and emails promptly
- Explain your options in plain language
You’ll never be left wondering where your case stands or what’s coming next.
What Your Compensation Might Include
The goal isn’t just to get a payout. It’s to get a result that reflects the full impact of your injury. That includes:
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Future care costs in serious injury cases
We work with life care planners, medical specialists, and economists to ensure that every dollar you’re entitled to is pursued.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take in Edmonton?
Every case is different. Some claims resolve in a few months, while more complex or disputed cases can take years or longer. The timeline depends on:
- The severity of your injuries
- Whether liability is disputed
- How long your recovery takes
- The insurer’s willingness to negotiate fairly
We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your situation and keep you informed every step of the way.
Settlement or Trial: What Happens at the End
Most personal injury cases in Alberta settle before trial. When that happens, we make sure you understand the terms, the timeline, and what you can expect moving forward.
If your case goes to trial, we’re ready. Rick Mallett has a reputation as a fearless advocate in court, and we prepare every case as though it could go the distance. This approach strengthens your position during negotiations and ensures we’re always one step ahead.
