Contingency
Fees:
Personal
injury is an area of law where all people have equal access to justice.
This is made possible by a contingency fee agreement.
Whenever
a client's case is resolved, he is charged a portion of the total amount
of any recovery in his claim. Our court system has long recognized that
without contingency fees, most citizens would not have the financial means
to obtain legal representation, especially when challenged by the resources
of the insurance industry or big business. People in desperate need of
being compensated for serious injuries may otherwise have no way to pay
by the hour for expert legal representation. With a contingency fee there
is no attorney fee charged unless the attorney recovers compensation for
the claim.
However,
the attorney's fee is separate from the litigation expenses which ordinarily
are the obligation of the client. Often these expenses can be advanced
by the law firm while the case is pending, and then deducted when the
client's claim is settled.
It
is important for clients to understand the fees involved before representation
is undertaken on their behalf. We welcome the chance to answer any questions
concerning legal fees or litigation expenses.
