If Your Personal Injury Case is Not Won, Your Lawyer Cannot Recover Case Expenses.
As your personal injury law firm, we’ll ensure to clarify how case expenses are managed in your personal injury case. Personal injury cases operate on a contingent fee basis, meaning fees are charged only when the case is won. Your lawyer gets paid only if they succeed in obtaining a favorable result in your injury case.
If your lawyer doesn’t win your case, you are not responsible for covering any expenses incurred by the law firm in your case. Absorbing the expenses of losing cases is a risk that your personal injury lawyer assumes to provide you with the legal representation you deserve.
What Happens If I Fire My Lawyer? Do I Pay Case Expenses Later?
If you decide to fire your lawyer, that lawyer retains the right to some fee and protection of case expenses. If you hire another lawyer, and the case is won, you may be responsible for paying some fee to the previous lawyer and reimbursing them for any case expenses incurred. This arrangement can be found in the original contract.
Carrying the Case Expenses
Work or auto injury victims often lack the available funds needed to litigate a personal injury case. Personal injury litigation can be notably expensive, encompassing filing a lawsuit, hiring experts, and taking depositions. Personal injury law firms typically shoulder these expenses for their clients throughout the case to provide peace of mind, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder the ability to win the case.
At the case’s conclusion, if your injury lawyer is successful, the firm will recover these expenses from the settlement or trial award. In our firm, we provide an itemized list of all case expenses incurred by the firm throughout the case.
Attorney-client relationships thrive on trust and confidence. Your lawyer should be able to address most, if not all, questions you have about case expenses. Feel free to seek an explanation about how case expenses are managed if you need more information.
