How HurtCallMax Works
You’re hurt. The insurance company is moving fast. Here’s what happens when you call us — and why it’s the simplest, fastest way to get a real Alberta lawyer on your side.
Step 1 — You call. We listen.
A real person picks up. Not a bot. Not a press-1 menu. We listen to what happened, ask a few quick questions to understand the type of injury, where it happened, and roughly when. The whole call is usually under two minutes.
Cost: $0.
Step 2 — We match you to the right Alberta lawyer.
Our network is made up of vetted Alberta personal-injury law firms. Each has a particular focus — some are best on motor vehicle, some on workplace third-party claims, some on medical malpractice. We match your situation to the firm best positioned to help.
You can also verify any lawyer’s standing in the public Law Society of Alberta directory before you sign anything.
Step 3 — A lawyer calls you back. Free case review.
During business hours, we aim to have a real Alberta lawyer on the line with you within one business day. They’ll review your situation, tell you honestly whether they think you have a case worth pursuing, and give you a rough sense of what it might be worth.
Cost: $0. No commitment. If you don’t want to engage them, the conversation ends and you owe nothing.
Step 4 — If you decide to engage, you sign a retainer.
The retainer agreement is between you and the lawyer’s firm. It sets out the contingency percentage — the only fee you’ll ever pay, and only if they win. You’ll see the percentage in writing before you sign. No surprises, no hidden fees.
No money changes hands today.
Step 5 — They go to work. You focus on healing.
From that point forward, your lawyer handles everything. Insurance company calls go to them. Document requests, medical records, expert witnesses, evidence preservation, settlement negotiations — all of it. You focus on your recovery.
Step 6 — They settle (or take it to court). You get paid.
Most personal-injury cases in Alberta settle without a trial. Your lawyer negotiates with the insurance company, and when the number is right, you sign off on the settlement. Their fee — the contingency percentage you agreed to on day one — comes out of the recovery. You keep the rest.
If they can’t get a fair number through negotiation, they take it to trial. Either way, you don’t pay until they win.
