Choosing Morris Law
Our experienced personal injury law firm has practiced in Hamilton for 60+ years.
We understand the intricacies of the physical, emotional, and financial implications after an injury or accident. We assess your needs and build a plan to maximize your recovery—on all fronts.
Our rates are contingency-based—you don’t pay us until you win your claim.
Accident Benefits Experts
Our legal, insurance, and medical systems are designed to help us, but they can be challenging and stressful to navigate without a certain level of expertise.
For most people suffering from a serious personal injury, it’s their first time. Making an insurance claim isn’t an everyday event, which is why we take you through everything in detail.
In 1994, we created Accident Benefits Consultants to help guide clients through the insurance claims maze.
Our consultants are insurance experts—they’ve read every policy, so you don’t have to. Our ABCs will complete and file your initial forms, guide you through assessments, and help you understand the fine print and confusing jargon.
They’ll be by your side with day-to-day assistance, ensuring they do everything possible to give you access to the benefits and compensation you deserve. Where insurance companies are trying to undercut or delay your payments, they’ll negotiate for you.
Our expert consultants are co-managed by Randall Morris, Jason Morris and Allison Whiteman.
We hope your claim doesn’t go to LAT. But if it does, your Accident Benefits Consultants work hand-in-hand with our expert legal team to ensure you’re heard in the potentially long months leading up to a lawsuit.
Rehabilitation Services
There are many important issues to deal with as you navigate post-accident injuries. Our legal professionals work to protect your rights, but we work with a regulated health professional to ensure your injuries are properly assessed, and you receive the proper treatment you need.
Medical care and rehabilitation start with a strong foundational assessment.
We can’t fight for fair compensation until we’ve accurately assessed the present and future costs you’ll incur from your injury. When you seek legal representation from The Morris Law Group, our Registered Health Professional, Kathy, will assess your needs to work alongside and connect you with the medical care and rehabilitation you need

Frequently Asked Questions
You are not obligated to speak directly with any insurance adjuster regarding your accident or injury. It’s best to consult a lawyer before communicating with the insurance company, including filling out your Accident Benefit forms. Our experienced Accident Benefits Consultants help you understand your rights and complete Accident Benefit forms accurately to secure a maximum settlement.
If you accept a settlement directly from the insurance agency without the help of an expert, you may end up with a much lower payout than the compensation you deserve. A lawyer advocates for your rights—keep one on speed dial.
Many factors are involved in personal injury claims with varying legal elements and outcomes. The quickest way to determine if your case has substance is to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer with a deep understanding of the law. Our Accident Benefits Consultants work to help you understand insurance policies, and our Registered Health Professional helps assess the full impact of your injury on your health and estimate long-term costs. Call The Morris Law Group to discuss your potential case further.
It depends on the severity of your injury. Some minor injuries may be best handled by a paralegal or small claims court suit, while more serious, more complex injuries typically require the care of a full personal injury legal firm, including lawyers, Accident Benefits Consultants, and a Registered Health Professional.
