How can I afford an Attorney?
Attorneys who specialize in representing those who have been seriously injured primarily handle these types of cases on a contingent fee basis. This type of fee arrangement provides that the attorney will receive an agreed upon percentage of the financial recovery at the conclusion of the case, plus reimbursement of expenses incurred in handling the case, but only if there is a successful outcome. The contingent fee agreement is critical to the civil justice system as it allows individuals who have been seriously injured to retain an experienced attorney without having to pay fees, costs or retainers in advance. Thus, every individual has equal access and opportunity for justice, regardless of economic status.
