Most personal injury attorneys offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis. Contingency fees mean your attorney won’t charge you anything unless he or she wins your case through a settlement or trial verdict. Usually, the fee amount is a percent of the financial recovery.
You may also be responsible for court fees that arise during the litigation of your claim. You may be asked to pay these fees as they are incurred, or your attorney might cover them for you and then deduct the cost from your financial award.
