Hammer Injury Law was founded by Rick Mallett, a lawyer with more than 35 years of legal experience and over two decades representing injured individuals and their families. Before focusing on personal injury law, Rick spent ten years representing insurance companies, providing valuable insight into how claims are investigated, evaluated, and defended. Today, that experience helps us advocate effectively for people who have been injured through no fault of their own.
We offer free consultations and handle personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront legal fees and no hourly bills. Our fees are only paid if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. We believe injured people should have access to experienced legal representation without taking on additional financial stress.
Traumatic brain injury claims often require detailed medical evidence and a clear understanding of how the injury affects a person’s daily life, employment, and future care needs.
We work with clients and their healthcare providers to build strong claims that reflect the full impact of a brain injury. From your initial consultation through settlement or trial, our team provides experienced legal guidance while you focus on your recovery.

Understanding the challenges associated with a brain injury can help you make informed decisions about your recovery and your legal claim.
