If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, whether it’s in a car accident, a slip and fall, or due to medical malpractice, one of the first questions you might have is, “How do lawyers get paid in injury cases?” We’re going to break down how Findley Law handles personal injury and medical malpractice cases and explain how our contingency fee structure works, so you can feel confident about reaching out for legal help without worrying about upfront costs.
What Does Contingency Fee Mean?
At Findley Law, we take most of our cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if you win your case. In simple terms, contingency fees are a percentage of the recovery you receive at the end of your case. If we successfully recover compensation for you, we will take a percentage of the settlement or court award as our fee. If you don’t win your case, you don’t pay us anything.
This payment structure allows you to access top-quality legal representation without the risk of paying upfront fees or accumulating costs. You don’t have to worry about paying for court fees, attorney fees, or other costs associated with your case because Findley Law fronts these expenses for you. We only get paid once you’ve received compensation for your injuries. This model ensures that we are fully invested in your case; our goal is your successful recovery, and we don’t get paid unless you do.
No Upfront Costs for You
One of the biggest benefits of the contingency fee model is that it allows people who might not otherwise be able to afford an attorney to have access to legal representation. You can call us for a consultation, ask for advice, and discuss the possibility of taking your case without ever receiving a bill. If we agree to take on your case, we front all of the costs associated with pursuing your claim, including things like court fees, expert witness fees, filing fees, and attorney costs.
Many people worry about the financial burden of hiring a lawyer, but with contingency fees, you don’t need to worry about paying for any of those expenses out of pocket. We believe that justice shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone, which is why we handle the costs of the case upfront, so you don’t have to pay anything unless you recover damages.
How Lawyers Get Paid in Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Cases
Once the case is settled or you win a court judgment, we receive our payment from the recovery. The remaining amount goes directly to you, which includes compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. It’s important to note that the amount we receive depends on the recovery amount, and you will always know the percentage before we agree to work together.
