One concern an injured party may have after an accident in Sacramento County is whether they may be able to afford to hire a California personal injury lawyer for their case. Most attorneys represent injured people under a contingency fee agreement meaning that there is no risk to the client when retaining legal counsel.
The advantage of a contingency fee agreement is that there are no upfront fees and costs to the client while the case is still ongoing. Attorneys’ fees will only be due if there is a successful outcome obtained in the case and will be deducted from the insurance settlement or jury award. The purpose of a contingency fee is to make legal representation accessible and affordable to everyone.
