The Truth About Attorney Fees in Personal Injury Claims

The Legal Truth

People wonder what happens if they hire a lawyer and lose. But in personal injury cases, most lawyers charge what is called a “contingency fee,” which means the lawyer only gets paid attorneys’ fees if they win the case at trial or recover a settlement.

On this episode of The Legal Truth, hosts Dirk Derrick and Pearl Carey, on the firm’s professional staff, discuss attorneys’ fees in personal injury claims, including what a contingency fee is, how it works, and what other costs are deducted after attorney fees. Dirk also covers four things that potential plaintiffs should know before signing a contract with a lawyer.
