How is a Contingency Fee Used in Personal Injury Law?
Nearly all personal injury law firms in Kentucky and Tennessee use contingency fees to ensure their clients are protected from unnecessary billing in their time of recovery. Depending on the firm, the case type, and whether the case goes to trial or not, contingency fees can vary.
When a personal injury law firm takes on a case with a contingency fee arrangement, that firm take the upfront costs of litigation, knowing they will collect nothing should they fail.
There have been countless cases in which injury victims have not pursued the justice they deserve, strictly because they believe they don’t have the money to take on large corporations. In cases like these, contingency fee arrangements are essential to ensuring victims get the compensation they deserve.
When are Contingency Fees Used in the Legal Process?
Before a contract is signed with a personal injury lawyer, they will explain how their fees work and what percentage they will take as a fee once the case is settled. Once a recovery is made, the law firm hired on a contingency fee will notify the client to ensure they are aware of the total bill after the case is settled or complete.
