Contingency Fees in Personal Injury Cases

Author : Adam Werner
Table of Contents

When you suffer injuries because of someone else’s negligence, you may worry that you cannot afford legal help. Fortunately, contingency fees in personal injury cases make it possible to hire a lawyer without paying anything upfront. This arrangement ensures that your attorney only gets paid if you receive compensation for your injuries.

At Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia, we are committed to making justice accessible to everyone. We handle injury claims on a contingency basis so you can focus on recovery while we fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

How Contingency Fees Work

A contingency fee agreement allows you to hire a personal injury lawyer without paying out-of-pocket fees at the start of your case. Instead, the attorney agrees to accept a percentage of your final settlement or verdict as payment.

If your case does not result in compensation, you won’t owe anything in attorney fees. This approach aligns your lawyer’s goals with your own. Both of you are working toward the same outcome: securing fair compensation for your injuries.

In our state, contingency fee structures are regulated by the Florida Bar’s rules of professional conduct, which ensure that the percentage charged is fair and clearly explained before you sign an agreement.

Why Are Contingency Fees Beneficial?

Working on a contingency fee basis ensures that anyone, regardless of financial status, can pursue justice in a personal injury case. This arrangement:

  • Eliminates the need for upfront legal costs
  • Motivates your attorney to secure the maximum recovery possible
  • Allows access to experienced representation without financial risk
  • Gives you peace of mind during your recovery

At Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia, we handle every aspect of your case, from investigating the cause of your injury to negotiating with insurers, so you can focus on healing.
