There is an almost eternal perception about lawyers being expensive in the country, perhaps brought on by the media as well as popular culture in avenues such as movies and TV shows. A personal injury attorney, however, works on contingency fee basis, which is something we’ll take a look at shortly. However, hiring a personal injury attorney can make a world of difference when it comes to maximizing your settlement or judgment, and your choice of one may actually make or break your case.

Most people do not have an appreciation of how difficult it is to resolve a personal injury claim by yourself without legal help, and it is something we strongly against doing. Read on to find out more.

Why Choosing the Right Injury Attorney Matters

Choosing a personal injury attorney is an undertaking that must not be taken lightly as going after a supposedly cheap one may have serious ramifications when it comes to getting the compensation you deserve. Even though injury lawyers may not exactly be cheap, they are open to negotiations as well as adjustments with regard to the fees they charge. Personal injury lawyers are accessible to all thanks to the contingency fee structure which allows you to file a claim without any upfront costs.

As we take out our fees at the very end of the lawsuit, making it possible for you to hire one without putting any money down. We will explore some of the common fee structures as well as take a look at some hidden costs that may transpire, but most importantly, show you how you can minimize these expenses.

Our Commitment to Clients and Contingency Fee Promise

Our success can be attributed to a number of factors such as personally handling all claims and not shunting them over to paralegals and legal assistants as is often seen in most law firms. We also work closely with only the best experts that can corroborate any medical, accident scene, and other findings we uncover so as to build a robust case, while maintaining our commitment to working together with the injured client and communicating with them on a regular basis to ensure we are on the same page.

In addition, we are willing to take a claim to court for litigation should we feel that the insurance company is negotiating in bad faith, as more often than not, litigating a strong claim with compelling evidence and a clear link between the defendant’s negligent actions and the plaintiff’s injuries results in the maximum compensation allowed by law.

In addition to running a bilingual firm (hablamos Espanol), we also take on all cases on contingency fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of your claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf. If you or a loved one got injured due to the negligent actions of another party, please give us a call NOW at (314) 481-63338 to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation, our intake team is standing by.

Typical Fee Structure in Personal Injury Claims

Here are some of the common fees and typical fee structure in a personal injury case:

1. Contingency Fee – This refers to your attorney taking on your case at no cost to you from the outset, but taking a percentage of the final settlement or judgement at the end of the suit. In addition, if you don’t win, you don’t owe the attorney anything. The standard rate for contingency fee is usually anywhere from 33.3% percent to 40%, with the higher percent typically charged if the lawsuit goes to trial. In order to have clear communication as well as expectations, make sure to know if the contingency fee is the gross settlement or the net amount after legal expenses are taken out.
2. Additional Costs – Most law firms will bill you for things like medical records retrieval fees, court filing fees, deposition costs, expert witness fees, investigation costs, and other administrative expenses such as photocopying, postage and so on.
