Getting into a car accident is a traumatizing experience; in its aftermath, we want things to resolve themselves smoothly, including insurance claims, medical expenses, and car repairs. Oftentimes, however, people don’t have enough money to handle all of these sudden expenses themselves, including attorney fees. Learn what to do if you’ve been injured in a car accident and cannot afford a personal injury lawyer.
Seeking Legal Representation after a Car Accident
It’s right for people who were injured in a car accident caused by someone else to want to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and more. When someone’s negligence causes harm to an innocent bystander, it’s only fair that that person be held accountable for their actions. Some people, however, may hesitate to hire qualified legal representation due to the fear that they cannot afford to pay them.
Luckily, many personal injury attorneys, including those at The Schurmer Firm, operate on a contingency fee basis, which means the client only pays for the attorney’s services if the attorney wins money for them.
Typically, contingency fees range anywhere from 25-40% of the funds ultimately awarded to the client. If you win, the attorney takes their contingency fee percentage from the awarded funds. If you lose, neither you nor the attorney receives money, and you will not be required to pay the attorney for services rendered in this situation.
