What Are Contingency Fees?
Law firms typically charge clients in two different ways: up-front, out-of-pocket payments or contingent fees. As the name indicates, contingency fees allow the law firm to collect payment retroactively for services rendered after—and only after—a positive settlement outcome. The firm subtracts the contingency fee from the client’s successful settlement payout. If the case does not result in an award, the victim owes nothing more toward lawyer fees. If you are suffering from a personal injury and want to hold those responsible legally accountable, retaining a well-reviewed lawyer on a contingency basis means you will not have to worry about paying for your legal fees.
What Should I Do After a Motorcycle Accident?
Motorcycle injuries can be particularly devastating, especially if the crash involves a full-sized vehicle. Even if you escape with what seem like minor injuries, go to the hospital immediately for a professional medical evaluation. If possible, take photographs of the accident immediately after the crash to serve as valuable evidence to support your settlement claim. Finally, reach out to a competent personal injury attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case. Even if you believe you might be partially at fault, you could still have sufficient cause to file suit and obtain a settlement for your motorcycle accident.
How Do I Find a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you are trying to find a personal injury lawyer, remember an attorney who focuses primarily on other legal fields might not have the expertise, experience or up-to-date knowledge of relevant shifts in case, state or federal laws necessary to help you. To ensure a positive outcome and maximize your settlement payout, look for a law firm with a long track record of successfully handling personal injury cases. You can ask friends and family for recommendations or try searching unbiased review sites online to find the top rated personal injury attorneys in your area.
Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s First Offer for My Injuries?
While we cannot offer advice on this matter over the internet and without knowing the facts of your case, it is always a good idea to have a personal injury lawyer evaluate your circumstances and give a professional opinion. We are happy to offer a free consultation on your personal injury lawsuit.
How Much is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Every personal injury case is potentially worth the amount of damages that it caused the injured person, and that amount always depends on the circumstances. These circumstances include the type of injury caused and the extent of any damages caused beyond the injury, the age and employment status of the victim, whether or not the victim was partially at fault and the type of insurance held by the party at fault.
