Many injured people avoid calling a lawyer because they fear the cost. In personal injury cases, that fear is usually misplaced — thanks to the contingency fee system.
What a Contingency Fee Is
Under a contingency fee arrangement, your attorney is paid a percentage of the recovery only if they win or settle your case. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney's fee.
Why This Helps Injury Victims
Contingency fees give everyone access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. They also align your attorney's interests with yours — both of you want the best possible result.
Costs vs. Fees
Case costs (filing fees, expert fees) are separate from attorney's fees. Many firms advance these costs and recover them from the settlement. Your attorney will explain the arrangement clearly upfront.
