Q 4 : How Much Will It Cost to Hire a Car Accident Attorney?
The cost of hiring a car accident attorney can vary based on several factors, but many personal injury law firms, including ours, work on a contingency fee basis which means there is no upfront cost. Here’s what you need to know about the costs associated with hiring a car accident attorney:
Contingency Fee Structure
- No Upfront Costs: With a contingency fee arrangement, you do not pay any upfront costs or hourly fees. Instead, the attorney’s fees are contingent upon winning your case.
- Percentage of Settlement: The contingency fee that the attorney will receive is a percentage of the settlement or court award.
● No Win, No Fee: If your attorney does not win your case, you do not owe any attorney’s fees. This arrangement aligns the attorney’s interests with yours, as they are motivated to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
Additional Costs and Expenses
- Case Expenses: While attorney fees are covered by the contingency fee, there may be additional costs associated with your case. These can include:
- Filing Fees: Costs associated with filing documents with the court.
- Expert Witness Fees: Payments to medical experts, accident reconstructionists, or other specialists who provide testimony or reports.
- Investigation Costs: Expenses for gathering evidence, such as obtaining medical records, police reports, or conducting depositions.
- Administrative Costs: Charges for photocopying, postage, and other administrative tasks.
- Expense Handling: Some law firms cover these costs upfront and deduct them from your settlement or award. Others may require you to pay these costs as they are incurred. At our firm, we cover these costs upfront and only deduct them from your settlement if we win your case.
