Injury lawyers…

Advocate for Their Clients

By being active listeners, an injury lawyer can come to understand the full scope of your accident and your injury. In that light, they will provide strategic, knowledgeable advocacy on your behalf in negotiations with insurance companies and in court when necessary.


Guide Their Clients Through Every Step of the Process

Injury lawyers are educated in tort law and deal with the law every day, so they are in an excellent position to explain the legal process of suing for damages and the potential outcomes in your case. Furthermore, an injury lawyer and their team will also assist you with all the paperwork required along the way and help you prepare for deposition or court, if required.


Maximize Compensation for Their Clients

In Edmonton, you can find an injury lawyer who will strive to maximize your compensation. To do so, they will:


  • Conduct thorough investigations into the accident, your injuries, and the impact of both on your life.

  • Consult with medical experts to determine resulting medical requirements both presently and in the future as well as the potential for loss of earning capacity because of the accident you suffered.

  • Calculate any lost earnings and expenses (such as increased childcare) resulting from the accident.

  • Consider your visible and invisible injuries and other non-economic damages.


With this information at hand, your injury lawyer will negotiate aggressively with insurance companies to ensure you receive your fair due and even pursue the case in court if necessary.


Provide Legal Representation

Injury lawyers are trained and experienced legal professionals who can knowledgeably and effectively act on your behalf throughout the legal process of seeking compensation for your injuries. They will conduct in-depth investigations, gather and analyze evidence, consult with medial and other professional experts who can support your claim, and finally, as already mentioned, they will represent you in court if a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation.
