What is a Contingency Fee?

March 5 , 2018 | Personal Injury

Becoming injured in an accident can be scary, especially if the injury was not your fault. Knowing what to do after your accident can be overwhelming. Accidents can also be quite costly as there can be not only expenses for property damage, but also expenses for medical treatment. Because of the potentially high costs resulting from an accident, some people are hesitant to contact or hire an attorney to represent them because of the additional cost. To help alleviate some of the stress of your accident, Martin Law Office, S.C. offers free initial consultations as well operates on a contingency fee basis.

If you believe that you may have a claim, fear of the cost should not stop you from contacting Martin Law Office for a consultation. All initial consultations at Martin Law Office are free. You will never be billed for you initial consultation.

Martin Law Office handles every type of personal injury case, including auto accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, wrongful death, slip-and-falls, unsafe premises, dog bites, nursing home neglect, medical malpractice, insurance disputes, bad faith claims, wrongful denial of benefits, and many others. All of the cases we handle are on a contingency fee basis. This means that there will not be a retainer and no hourly fees for the work the attorneys do on your case. Under a contingency fee, the client will not pay anything for the services rendered by their attorney unless their attorney is successful in obtaining a recovery for the client. The contingency fees means that there will be no out of pocket expenses to hire a lawyer to help in your personal injury matter. The only time a client will have to pay their attorney is if the attorney is able to obtain a settlement for their client. By operating under this payment system, no matter your financial means you have the ability to hire a lawyer, who can help ensure a fair outcome to your personal injury claim.
