Sudden, unexpected financial strain is common in the aftermath of a truck accident. When an accident turns your family budget upside down, the thought of additional expenses related to hiring an attorney might seem unwelcome. The good news is that you could pursue a personal injury case with the help of an attorney without the need for any upfront legal fees.
Most personal injury attorneys operate on something known as a contingency basis. When your attorney works for a contingency fee, they are paid through a portion of what they recover on your behalf. Under this type of agreement, you will never pay any attorney fees out of pocket.
With a contingency fee agreement, your attorney assumes the risk of taking on your case. If they are unsuccessful in recovering damages on your behalf, you will not owe them a fee. This approach gives you the chance to pursue compensation for your injuries regardless of your financial circumstances.
