How Do Contingent Fees Allow Injured Individuals to Hire a Lawyer?

As your personal injury law firm, we will make sure we explain to you how attorneys’ fees are paid in your personal injury case. A contingent fee is one that is charged when the case is won. That means that your lawyer gets paid only if he or she is successful at obtaining a favorable result in your injury case. The fee paid will be a percentage of the total personal injury settlement or trial result. That percentage will be disclosed to you in your original contract.
Contrary to what many people believe, it is standard practice at the time of hiring a lawyer, for a personal injury lawyer to request that a client agree to pay a set percentage for attorney’s fees once your reach the conclusion of the case. This fee arrangement allows many injured individuals to hire a lawyer when that would otherwise not have a way to pay for representation. The personal injury lawyer carries the expenses in the case and does not collect or bill for any attorneys’ fees until the conclusion of the case.
