Fees for Personal Injury Cases

A lot of people don’t know this but you can hire an attorney in a couple of different ways on a personal injury claim. You can pay an hourly fee, which is more of a traditional business relationship where the attorney is just paid for the time that they have involved but typically, in personal injury cases clients prefer what is referred to as a contingency fee, which allows the attorneys to be paid but only if they win the case. So if the attorneys are successful in winning the case then they receive a percentage of the total recovery in addition to being reimbursed their expenses. The contracts we have with clients we front the expenses but if we can’t win the case then we’re never reimbursed for the expenses.
