Since you came to this website, you are obviously searching for a Lloydminster personal injury lawyer online. It can be very confusing and frustrating to review multiple websites of Lloydminster car accident lawyers all claiming to be the best and promising to obtain the highest settlement for you! Some firms even make the unsupported and therefore unethical claim that they have obtained “Alberta’s Largest Injury Settlements”. A settlement is a private confidential agreement between two parties and a database in Alberta of injury settlements does not exist, so claiming to have achieved the highest settlements is dishonest and self-serving. We recently settled a $4 Million Traumatic Brain Injury case which is the largest settlement OUR firm has achieved for a brain injury victim, but we have no idea if this is the largest settlement for a brain injury in Alberta.

What you really need is an independent review process that has already scrutinized the lawyers for you pointing you to a highly skilled lawyer and someone you can trust knowing that lawyer will work hard for you and always be honest with you.
Fortunately, in Canada and Alberta there is such an independent review process. It is called a Queen’s Counsel appointment, designated as “Q.C.” for short. A Q.C. designation of a lawyer dates to the 16th Century in England. In Alberta, Q.C. applications are reviewed by a screening committee comprised of Judges and other lawyers. The Judges and lawyers make recommendations to the Minister of Justice and Cabinet of Alberta for consideration of a Queen’s Counsel appointment.
The Q.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 Q.C. That is why you won’t find many Q.C.’s listed in other personal injury law firms. In searching for a Lloydminster accident lawyer, review other websites and see how many lawyers have the designation of Q.C., an independent mark of excellence. In Alberta there are 9,867 active lawyers and of those lawyers only 41 lawyers are chosen every two years to receive the honour of Q.C. That works out to only 20 lawyers per year out of almost 10,000 active lawyers.
Brent Handel was chosen a Q.C. on December 30, 2011 after over 20 years as a practicing lawyer. If you need assistance with your serious complex personal injury or fatal accident claim, contact Brent Handel, Q.C. and rest assured that you will have access to top quality legal counsel to advance your personal injury claim.
Though accidents happen every day, no one expects to be the innocent injured victim of a serious motor vehicle accident. The roads in and around Lloydminster, with the exception of Highway 16, are all two lane highways which result in many catastrophic injuries due to highway speeds when someone is distracted, or drinking and driving.
If you are the victim of an accident you may be experiencing pain, anxiety, and stress over your inability to return to work and over the conversations you have had with the insurance company for the party at fault.
You need to understand that the insurance company for the driver at fault does not act for you. That auto insurance company is a private for profit insurance company whose only obligation is to maximise profits for its shareholders and to minimize the cost of your injury claim. The only way you can obtain a fair settlement is to have someone who acts solely in your interest negotiate a fair and reasonable settlement on your behalf.
Our goal for you is to maximize the settlement allowable by law for your injuries. We receive referrals from other lawyers in the Lloydminster and Vermillion area who have clients who have been seriously injured, but that lawyer does not practise much in the personal injury area and so they refer their clients to our office.
Call our office toll free at 1-800-682-2480 and we will provide 30 minutes of free legal advice to assess your situation and to advise you of what your rights and obligations are. Do not settle for the low offer the insurance company likely has offered you. If you are thinking their offer does not seem quite right – you are right!
You are in a vulnerable state and often in financial need, but accepting a “low ball” settlement offer is not in your long term best interest. Once you’ve accepted money and signed the release your claim is closed forever. Instead, you must look out for your long term financial interest for you and your family and the only way to do that is to hire experienced skilled professional legal counsel who acts only for you to assist you in obtaining proper resolution of your personal injury claim.
