(314) 500-HURTHow Contingency Fees Work in Personal Injury Claims. When you’re injured because somebody else broke the
rules, it can already lead to significant financial hardships with lost wages, outrageous medical bills and other
out-of-pocket expenses. If an insurance company isn’t being reasonable and doesn’t want to fairly compensate you for
your injuries, the prospect of paying even more money to hire a lawyer is daunting. At Burger Law, our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis.
That means you don’t pay until we win your case. If you’ve been injured by somebody else’s negligence, call the
personal injury law firm of Burger Law today at (314) 500-HURT or contact us online
for a free, no-risk, no-obligation case review. With offices in St. Louis, Chicago and elsewhere, we fight hard for
our clients throughout Missouri and Illinois.

A contingency fee is a way for an attorney to get paid instead of an hourly or service-based fee. It is only used if
you are retaining an attorney because you are seeking a financial recovery. If your attorney takes your case on a
contingency fee basis, that means that they are paid a percentage of your final compensation; only when, and only
if, your attorney is successful in securing you a financial recovery.
In one recent case, we were able to turn an initial $3,900 settlement offer into $100,000. So in
complicated cases where the insurance company isn’t being fair, you can still recover tens of thousands of dollars
in damages more by hiring a lawyer on a contingency fee basis.
