HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?
An accident involving serious injuries can leave victims in physical and financial distress. Patients can quickly be confronted by enormous medical costs and start falling behind on regular monthly bills like car payments and rent as they miss work. To make matters worse, victims may appeal to the at fault driver’s insurance company and find the compensation to be lacking.
When confronted with slow insurance adjusters and rising medical bills, you’ll quickly find out why seeking a personal injury lawyer is so important to the outcome of your case. The cost of an attorney may seem like just one more expense; however, when you talk with the personal injury lawyers at Hagens Berman, you’ll find that anyone can afford our services.
Hagens Berman lawyers operate on a contingency basis. This means that you do not have to pay for our services unless we win your case.
FREE PERSONAL INJURY CASE CONSULTATION
The first step will be to tell our personal injury experts what happened to you and to discuss your options. This consultation is absolutely free and comes with no obligation or commitment. The purpose is to discuss your case's circumstances and outline your legal options to move forward. They will help you to determine whether it is in your best interest to retain a lawyer or if you can effectively handle the claim without legal support.
NO UPFRONT PAYMENTS
If you agree to let our lawyers go to work on building your case, you’ll sign a contingency agreement. You aren’t responsible for any payment upfront.
A contingency agreement simply means your legal team will collect a certain amount of the money you’re awarded, but only if they win your case. This percentage will be discussed and agreed upon by you and your attorney before you sign any documents.
COMPREHENSIVE CASE INVESTIGATION
Hagens Berman lawyers will roll up their sleeves and immediately start to construct a strong case for you. They collect vital evidence from the scene. They secure testimony from witnesses. They also gather all relevant documents that show the fault was not yours.
The upfront cost of this investigation is covered by Hagens Berman. The cost of work hours, any expert witnesses, accident reconstruction teams, video evidence experts and more are handled by Hagens Berman. Throughout the process, you can trust that what’s in the best interests of you and your family is our top priority.
PERSONAL INJURY CONTINGENCY FEE
When a Hagens Berman attorney successfully earns you a financial award through an insurance settlement or a ruling from a judge or jury, you will collect your earnings. You can begin to pay off your hospital and household bills immediately and restore some normalcy to your life.
At this time, Hagens Berman would receive our percentage of the award as well. Our firm typically receives about one-third of the amount recovered plus expenses. We use this money to cover our own hours, legal assistants’ hours, all court fees and the costs of experts and specialists used in proving your side of the case. In the event we do not win your case, you would not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees.
