No Win, No Fee
Under a contingency fee agreement, you pay no attorney's fee unless your lawyer recovers compensation for you. There's no hourly billing and no upfront retainer. The fee is an agreed percentage of the recovery, paid only if the case succeeds.
Why It Exists
Most injured people can't afford to pay a lawyer by the hour, especially while dealing with medical bills and lost income. The contingency model removes that barrier, letting anyone pursue a strong claim regardless of their finances. It also aligns the attorney's interest with yours — they only get paid if you do.
Understanding Costs
Separate from fees, cases involve costs like filing fees, expert charges, and records. Fee agreements explain how these are handled — often advanced by the firm and reimbursed from any recovery. A reputable attorney will walk you through the agreement before you sign.
A Risk-Free First Step
Because consultations are typically free and representation is on contingency, you can learn whether you have a viable claim and what it may be worth at no cost and no obligation. There's little downside to finding out where you stand.
