FAQ
Do I pay personal injury attorney fees upfront?
Short Answer
Quick guidance
Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee, which means attorney fees are paid from the recovery rather than upfront.
Full Answer
Personal injury firms commonly work on a contingency fee basis. That means clients do not pay attorney fees upfront, and the fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or recovery.
This arrangement helps injured people pursue a claim without paying hourly legal fees while they are dealing with medical care, missed work, and repair costs. Always review the fee agreement so you understand how fees and case costs are handled.
