There is always the possibility that your car accident lawyer will need to take your case into litigation. Attorney’s fees will often be higher when your case reaches this point. You may also incur additional costs due to moving these cases into litigation. Expert witnesses and depositions can result in thousands of dollars spent to prove your case. While this is an example of extreme expenses, you may incur other minor fees. These expenses can be as simple as the cost of making copies or postage. The law firm will document these costs, and you will ultimately pay them from your settlement.
