As lawyers who deal with people suffering from personal injury cases, we know that the pain and struggle begin the very moment the accident happens.

Whether it’s between two cars, a truck and car crash, or a pedestrian hit by a vehicle, someone will suffer. Someone may be concerned about how they will pay for the damages and return to “normal.” 

For instance, if a Rio Grande Valley resident ends up in the hospital from a car accident, they have several expenses to worry about, such as;

• How much time will be taken away from work? And is there enough to cover it?
• Each day in the hospital adds to an enormous medical bill. How much can they afford?
• If there are children, who will watch them while the parent is recovering?
• Will there be rehabilitation costs? How will it be covered?
• Who will pay the rent or the mortgage while trying to get compensated? 
• If the car is busted from a crash, can it be repaired? What is the price to replace it if it can’t be fixed?

Looking at the list of costly problems from an auto accident, a person might decide to forgo the cost of hiring a personal injury attorney. They might think that’s just another bill to pay. In reality, contacting our personal injury legal team is one of the first and best things to do. Because we work on a contingency basis. This means the injured client only receives a bill after the dispute is settled, and they are fully compensated.

How Much Does a Car Crash Attorney Cost? We set Expectations from the Beginning

Contingency fees can vary since the agreed percentage can be different for each case. There are many factors to consider, such as what kind of accident it was. Did the injuries come from a workplace slip and fall (https://jvlawfirm.net/practice-areas/slip-and-fall/) or a car crash with an 18-wheeler? And who are the others involved? What are the injuries the client is suffering from? How many insurance companies are involved? All these questions need to be answered. Then, we discuss our percentage upfront. 

Our clients must be clear on what their contingency fee will be. Setting expectations from the beginning will settle any concerns and help us get to work defending a personal injury victim. 

Some people may wonder if there are any disadvantages to contingency fees. It can depend on the attorney a person chooses. Some attorneys can delivery too little and charge too much. Maybe they don’t take the time to fight harder for proper compensation. We don’t know and we don’t run with that crowd. Our clients seem to only experience the advantages because a fair contingency fee allows people access to justice without going into debt over legal fees. And we believe that when we win, our clients should win too.
