How much is my injury claim worth?
Since you came to this website, you are obviously searching for a personal injury lawyer online. It can be very confusing and frustrating to review multiple websites of personal injury lawyers all claiming to be the best and promising to obtain the highest settlement for you.
What you really need is an INDEPENDENT REVIEW PROCESS that has already scrutinized the lawyers for you pointing you to a highly skilled lawyer who will obtain the best possible outcome for you, and someone you can trust knowing that lawyer will work hard for you and always be honest with you.
King’s Counsel (K.C.)
Fortunately, in Alberta there is such an independent review process. It is called a King’s Counsel appointment, designated as “K.C.” for short (formerly Queen’s Counsel or Q.C.). In Alberta, K.C. applications are reviewed by a screening committee comprised of Judges and other lawyers.
The K.C. designation is given to lawyers who demonstrate excellence in the practice of law as well as professional integrity and good character. It is a designation of superior achievement in many aspects of the law, sterling reputation and contributions to society in general.
It is very difficult to obtain the designation of K.C. as in Alberta, there are over 10,000 active lawyers and only 40 to 80 lawyers are chosen every two years to receive the honour of K.C.
Red Deer personal injury lawyer Brent Handel, K.C. was chosen a Q.C. in 2011. If you need assistance with your serious complex personal injury, contact Brent Handel, K.C., and rest assured that you will have access to top quality legal counsel to advance your personal injury claim.
Handel Law Firm recognizes the importance of medical research into difficult to diagnose medical conditions such as Post-Viral Immune Dysfunction, Post-Treatment Lyme Disease, ME/CFS, and most recently Covid-19 long haulers. As a result, from 2015 to date Handel Law Firm has donated to charities supporting medical research the total sum of $211,032.00. Mr. Handel serves on the Board of Directors of the Open Medicine Foundation – Canada.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer to handle my car accident injury claim?
Yes, if you’ve been seriously injured in an auto accident you should contact a professional, experienced personal injury lawyer. The insurance company for the person at fault does not act for you. In fact, the insurance company acts against your interests in trying to minimize claim payouts like yours in order to maximize insurance company profits. Remember all auto insurance companies in Alberta are private for-profit companies. Obviously, they act for their shareholders – not for you. A personal injury lawyer acts only in your best interests.

How much is my injury claim worth?
It depends how long you have pain and suffering and the severity of the suffering during that time period. We then compare those two factors and many others (like loss of wages) to legal precedents.

*see actual legal precedents on this page.
The insurance company adjuster for the other driver is calling me, should I talk to him/her?
No you should not. In fact, anything you say will very likely come back to hurt your case. Insurance companies can and do tape record conversations with you. The only thing you have to do legally is settle, or, commence a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. Better to have our firm talk to the insurance company for you.
