I’m Hurt, but Can I Even Afford a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you were injured due to another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses. Your best chance of recovering full compensation is to have an experienced Pasadena personal injury lawyer handling your case. When seeking legal representation, it is important to understand how personal injury attorneys get paid.
If you bring your case to us at Vardanyan Law Firm, you don’t have to worry about any costly fees unless we win you a settlement. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid when you do.
What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee is the sum of money a lawyer receives as a fee only if the case is won. When a personal injury attorney accepts a case, the client and attorney agree on a certain percentage of the recovery, and the attorney fees are paid when the claim is successful.
When working on a contingency fee basis, the lawyer only gets paid if they have successfully represented their client, and the amount the attorney receives is contingent upon the result achieved. That’s why some personal injury attorneys will only accept cases that involve damages caused by provable negligence or wrongdoing.
What Are the Advantages of Contingency Fees?
Many personal injury lawyers today operate on a contingency fee basis. As the attorney bears the risk of litigation, most firms will only take on valid claims they believe in. This operating basis has several advantages, including:
- No upfront costs for the client
- Incentive for attorneys to pursue the best possible results
- Access to legal representation for injury victims who might not otherwise be able to afford it
How Can a Pasadena Personal Injury Attorney Help?
If you were hurt in an accident that was someone else’s fault, you should be able to recover for the losses you have suffered. Insurance companies are in business for profit and are not likely to offer a fair settlement. While you focus on recovering from your injuries, your personal injury lawyer can:
- Investigate your accident or injury to determine fault and liability
- Secure evidence to support your claim
- Build a strong case based on the evidence
- Assess the full extent of your damages, past, present, and future
- Negotiate skillfully with insurance companies on your behalf
- Fight for the compensation you deserve in court if necessary
