A:Inevitably, there are costs associated with all personal injury cases. Nearly every doctor and hospital charge a fee to provide your attorney with a copy of your accident-related medical records and bills. Furthermore, if a lawsuit must be filed in your case then additional costs will be incurred such as filing fees, sheriff's fees, stenographer’s fees, and the like. Some firms require you to pay these costs out-of-pocket as they are incurred. Our office, however, advances these costs on your behalf so that you do not need to continuously send us money to pay for them. At the end of your case, we deduct them from your settlement, and in the off chance we do not procure a monetary settlement or award on your behalf, we will absorb the costs and you will not be charged for them.
