I received head injury in an auto accident. Who pays my attorney's fees? What if I can't afford a attorney?

Our personal injury lawyers handle head injury trauma cases. If you can't afford an attorney, don't worry. Our attorneys handle all cases on what is called a "contingency fee" basis. This means that no fees or costs are charged to you unless we collect money damages from the insurance company for you. All of the consultations with our office are absolutely free. When you receive full compensation, meaning we have successfully concluded your case, either by settlement or litigation, our fees will be a percentage of the gross settlement. This percentage is agreed upon before we begin work, is in writing, signed by you and the attorneys, and is 20% to 33 1/3% prior to filing a lawsuit and 30% to 40% after the lawsuit is filed, up through trial.

The attorney's fee is separate from the "costs" that the law office advances on behalf of the client in a personal injury case. "Costs" include expenses for obtaining copies of medical records from your doctors, expert witness fees, accident reconstruction experts, filing fees at the courthouse, costs of taking depositions of the parties involved, all witnesses, doctors and other experts, etc. We advance all costs related to your case. Only upon obtaining a recovery for a client, are we reimbursed the costs advanced by our law firm.
