When you contact our team at Schiller & Hamilton, your initial case evaluation is free. We pride ourselves on being open and honest about whether or not you should pay for a lawyer to help you with your case. If you choose to hire us, we will work on a contingency fee basis. This means that the amount you pay depends on the amount you recover through your personal injury claim.
The standard rate among attorneys working on a contingency fee basis is 33% to 40% of your total settlement, depending on factors such as litigation. Our personal injury lawyers in Bluffton are no different from our standard rates. The value of experienced legal representation can make up for this cost, as individuals who choose not to work with a personal injury lawyer often encounter pitfalls that hamper their ability to recover the full amount owed to them.
It is also important to consider that insurance companies intimately understand the process and may not hesitate to take advantage of a vulnerable claimant. Having a knowledgeable legal team at your side can greatly even the playing field when approaching these negotiations.
