WHAT IS A CONTINGENCY FEE?
NO FEE UNLESS WE WIN
Generally, there are no costs to our clients throughout the course of their personal injury case. Our firm carries the cost of the case and any disbursements. When your claim is resolved either through settlement or at trial, our firm takes a portion of the settlement for fees and cost disbursements. We will explain the retainer and fee arrangements clearly at the initial free consultation, so you know what to expect from your personal injury case.
With a contingency fee agreement, your attorney will only get paid when you recover compensation — via settlement or court judgment — in your personal injury case.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY?
A personal injury claim is a legal case brought by an individual (the plaintiff) who has suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to the negligence or intentional actions of another party. The aim of the claim is to seek compensation for the damages incurred.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
To have a valid personal injury claim, you generally need to establish three key elements: a duty of care owed to you by the defendant, a breach of that duty, and damages resulting from the breach. It is essential to consult with a personal injury attorney to evaluate the specifics of your situation.
SHOULD I HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?
If you have been injured in an accident and are considering filing a personal injury claim, it is highly advisable to consult with an experienced attorney. A personal injury attorney can help protect your rights, navigate the complex legal process, and provide clarity on what to expect from your personal injury case. They will gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and maximize your chances of receiving fair compensation.
FROM THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
A client pays a contingent fee to a lawyer only if the lawyer handles a case successfully. Lawyers and clients use this arrangement only in cases where money is being claimed—most often in cases involving personal injury or workers’ compensation.
In a contingent fee arrangement, the lawyer agrees to accept a fixed percentage (often one third) of the recovery, which is the amount finally paid to the client. If you win the case, the lawyer’s fee comes out of the money awarded to you. If you lose, neither you nor the lawyer will get any money, but you will not be required to pay your attorney for the work done on the case.
Understanding what to expect from your personal injury case is essential, as you may still incur other expenses. Win or lose, you probably will have to pay court filing fees, the costs related to deposing witnesses, and similar charges.
