What If I Have Been Involved In An Accident And Do Not Have Money To Pay An Attorney?
The contingency fee system allows people to hire lawyers without the need to pay their fees upfront. This is the way most accident cases are handled to give people the “key to the courthouse” to resolve their claims. The lawyers’ fees are taken out of the proceeds and are paid at the conclusion of the case. The lawyer’s fee is “contingent” upon an outcome – if the claim is lost then the attorney does not get paid and the client is not obligated to pay the fee.
Most people do not have the money to pay an attorney and the contingency fee allows for the client to have good legal representation. It allows the client to receive professional legal services without paying legal fees at a time when funds are usually less available because of the accident the person has been involved in.
