I was hurt in an accident and want to make a claim, but Im concerned about legal fees. How will I be charged?
A. Most personal injury claims are handled on a contingent fee basis. This means theres no fee unless there is a recovery (there may, however, be court and other costs). The fee is a portion of the recovery. Because of contingent fee arrangements, accident victims can make claims against big businesses and insurance companies even if they could not afford to do so for other matters.
