Many of our clients have never been injured as the result of the negligence of another person before. They don't know how it all works and are fearful that we will ask them for a large sum of money in order to provide them representation.
Fortunately, that is not the case. We ask for no money, no retainer check. We like many other lawyers, work in personal injury and accident cases on a so-called contingency fee basis.
What that means is that we typically receive 1/3 of your settlement from the at-fault parties' insurer. Practically speaking, this means that only when the case is settled or the verdict is rendered, do we see any compensation.
If you receive no compensation we receive no compensation. The contingency fee arrangement does need to be in writing and it is important that you know and understand the terms of your contingency fee agreement.
If you have any questions about your fee agreement, it is important to voice them so you feel treated fairly.
