WHY JAMES H. BROWN?

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS

Here at James H. Brown and Associates, we have personally experienced the impact that unanticipated injuries can have on an individual’s regular routine. When Brown was just 7 years old, he was bedridden for a year due to a rare hip ailment. This injury left him wheelchair-bound for yet another year. Then, tragedy struck Brown yet again at age 19, when he was in a head-on collision with an impaired driver, resulting in a broken neck. Brown credits these tough experiences as being the key driving force behind his passion and success of his ever-growing injury law firm.

RESULTS THAT MATTER

When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, the most essential piece at stake is ensuring there is a sufficient amount of funds to be able to provide for yourself and your loved ones. We are proud to say that our clients have received some of the largest multi-million dollar motor vehicle accident injury settlements in all of Alberta. Brown has handpicked a team of top experienced lawyers who are consistently committed to doing all that is required to ensure our seriously injured clients are properly compensated and represented.

WHY CHOOSE JAMES H. BROWN AND ASSOCIATES?

James H. Brown and Associates was founded by Mr. Brown after he suffered catastrophic injuries following a severe accident. This experience led Mr. Brown to practicing law, developing a great reputation, and eventually founding James H. Brown and Associates. On top of our unrivalled results, we sympathize with you. When it comes to fighting for fair compensation for people who have experienced serious injury, our legal team is second to none.

DO I HAVE A CASE?

Any accident that is the result of another’s negligence or wrongful act that leads to an injury—whether physical, emotional, mental, or financial—means you have a case. Our Edmonton personal injury lawyers can connect with you and talk about your case. Take our Quiz to see if you should speak with a qualified Injury Lawyer.

HOW LONG WILL MY CASE TAKE?

The length of time for each case varies depending on a variety of different factors, and is heavily influenced by the state of your injuries. As such, we advise our clients to wait to settle for a period while our Lawyers confirm what damage was done. Should an insurance company become unreasonable, the case will take longer. Our lawyers will stick by you throughout the whole process.

WHAT IF MY CASE IS OUTSIDE OF ALBERTA?

If your accident occurred outside of Alberta, contact our personal injury lawyers immediately. Jurisdictions outside of Alberta operate with different accident reporting dates, which means that missing these timelines may compromise your case. James H. Brown and Associates represents clients in Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.

WHAT IF MY INJURY GETS WORSE?

It could be weeks or months before you experience symptoms of your injuries. We always recommend that you seek medical attention immediately following an accident, and seek medical attention again if your symptoms worsen. Describe everything in extreme detail, as we will use these records later in your case. The more information you can provide, the better.

WHAT IF THE CAR I WAS HIT BY DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE?

Edmonton is part of The Alberta Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund (MVACF). If the party at fault (eg. hit-and-run or an uninsured driver) does not have insurance, you must give notice to the MVACF within 90 days of the accident. Our dedicated lawyers have worked with many cases involving MVACF, and would be happy to take on your case as well.
