A contingency fee is a type of payment to your attorney that only occurs when you receive some kind of monetary recovery in your case. After a car accident, a slip and fall or other type of personal injury that causes you harm, you could find yourself in need of legal representation and without the finances to pay for an experienced personal injury lawyer. The contingency fee arrangement between attorney and client used at Burger Law exists for exactly this reason. We do not get paid unless – or until – you do.
Payment for your attorney’s services is “contingent upon” you receiving some amount of compensation. Your attorney will take an agreed-upon percentage of your recovery, an amount dependent on the complexity and risk involved in your case and who pays for litigation costs and when. These litigation costs include:
- Court and filing fees
- Discovery costs
- Expert witnesses
- Obtaining evidence
- Overhead and incidentals
A contingency fee arrangement provides access to the courts for those who cannot afford to pay the attorneys fees and costs of civil litigation. They also provide a powerful motivation to your Burger Law personal injury lawyer to work diligently on your case. We do not take cases we do not believe in.
