Cost of a Personal Injury Lawyer

Answer:

The other day I got a call from a potential client, who eventually became my client. The person was seriously injured in a horrible crash, so much so that the person was in a coma. This person lost his job, had serious physical injuries, and, when he came to us, he was concerned about how he was going to pay for our services. Fortunately, we told him that he would not have to pay us anything up front. This is because we enter into agreements called contingency fee agreements, meaning we get paid if and only if we recover something in your case. If there’s no recovery, there’s no attorneys’ fees. If there’s a recovery, then we receive a percentage of what is recovered.

We also, at the Chavez Law Firm, as would most personal injury attorneys, front the costs of litigation, including filing fees, expert fees, and deposition fees. There are tons of other types of fees that a good personal injury attorney will cover up front and get reimbursed once there is a recovery in the case. If you have a question about the terms for paying an attorney, please give us a call at the Chavez Law Firm. We’re more than happy to answer your questions in this regard.
