Great news! The best Los Angeles personal injury lawyer costs you nothing unless they get you paid. At Walch Law, like all big and small personal injury and wrongful death law firms, you don’t pay anything unless they win your case. Keep reading to learn about how contingency fees work, how much you ultimately pay your personal injury lawyer and more…
What is a Contingency Fee?
Unlike the more traditional legal payment arrangements (hourly, retainer) contingency fee arrangements mean that what you ultimately pay your lawyer is contingent on what they get you in your final settlement. In order to know that final number, you don’t pay anything until you get paid. Most personal injury lawyers charge a contingency fee around 33% of your total payout so if your case is worth $100,00 then you end up paying your lawyer $33,000 but not until the end when you actually have money.
Contingency fees are incredibly incentivizing for lawyers because the more they get for you also means they get paid more. And this is also a winning setup for clients because it means that your lawyer will work hard to get you the most money possible.
How Much Is A Personal Injury Lawyer
Your lawyer costs more the more they get you paid but one thing you should make sure of in your search for the best Los Angeles personal injury lawyer is that you know what you are ultimately paying out. The percentage of your contingency fee (along with any other fees they may charge for such as court filings) should be something you know when you hire the firm.
Once people get an idea of legal fees and how this works, many wonder if they end up paying a lawyer more than if they handled the case on their own. That is actually very rarely the case. Why? Mainly because lawyers know how to argue up your case value and also how to argue against stingy insurance companies.
