Contingency fee agreements mean that our law firm will represent you in your personal injury claim without any upfront payment. Under this arrangement, our fees are contingent upon the successful resolution of your case. This means we only get paid if we secure a settlement or win a verdict that provides you with compensation.
We examine the elements of the case. The percentage will be agreed upon before we start working on your case, ensuring transparency and understanding of all financial aspects.
The contingency percentage covers all the legal representation provided by our law firm. It does not include disbursements or costs.
Besides the contingency fee, there might be additional costs such as those for obtaining expert witness fees, and court filing fees. These are often referred to as disbursements. Our firm ensures full transparency regarding potential additional costs from the outset.
Disbursements are costs that our firm pays on your behalf to support your claim, such as fees for medical record retrieval and expert witnesses. These are not part of the contingency fee and will be itemized separately. Disbursements are often reimbursed from the settlement amount.
If your case does not result in a win or a settlement, under a contingency fee agreement, you will not owe any hourly fees for the legal services provided. However, you may still be responsible for any disbursements incurred during the case.
While contingency fee agreements provide an opportunity for many clients to afford legal representation without upfront costs, it's important to discuss all options. Depending on the specifics of your case, other arrangements like an hourly rate may be advisable. We provide a free consultation to help you understand the best financial arrangement for your situation.
