What Can I Do If I Can't Afford a Personal Injury Lawyer for My Case?
Suffering an injury in an accident is overwhelming, and the thought of hiring a personal injury lawyer can add to the stress, especially if you’re worried about how to afford legal representation. It’s understandable to feel uncertain when you’ve been hurt and don’t have the financial resources to pay for a lawyer upfront. Many people mistakenly believe that justice is only for those who can afford it, but that’s not the case. At Cheves Briceno, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
The High Cost of Hourly Legal Fees
For many, the idea of hiring a lawyer brings to mind hourly fees that can quickly add up, making legal services seem out of reach. Some law firms charge by the hour, regardless of your circumstances, and these fees can become overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and other financial burdens from the accident. This can leave you feeling trapped and unsure of where to turn for help.
What is a Contingency Fee Arrangement?
The good news is that you don’t need to have cash on hand to hire a personal injury lawyer. Many personal injury attorneys, including Cheves Briceno, work on a contingency fee basis. But what exactly does that mean?
A contingency fee arrangement means that you don’t pay any upfront fees or hourly rates to your attorney. Instead, your lawyer’s fees are contingent upon winning your case. If your lawyer successfully recovers compensation for you, either through a settlement or a court judgment, they will receive a percentage of the recovery. If they don’t win your case, you owe them nothing.
This arrangement allows you to pursue justice without worrying about the cost of legal representation. It ensures that your attorney is fully invested in your case and will work diligently to secure the best possible outcome for you.
