How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer?
There are no upfront costs to hire our personal injury attorneys. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we only get paid if we recover financial damages for you. If we do not get compensation for you, then you owe us nothing.
At Hardee, Massey & Blodgett, LLP, your initial consultation is free, and we front all of the costs of building the case. When we recover compensation through a settlement or a jury award, we take a percentage of the amount as our fee.
Why Contingency Fees?
Contingency fees are standard in certain areas of law. Without this arrangement, most people would not be able to afford to hire a personal injury attorney. With contingency fees, however, you are not responsible for attorney fees unless we win the case. Plus, we will discuss our fees with you before you decide to work with our firm. That means there are no surprises when the case is finished.
While our portion of the settlement or award may seem significant, remember that working with an experienced attorney often results in far greater recoveries than if you try to negotiate the case on your own.
Do You Really Need A Lawyer?
Yes. Insurance companies and other large corporations have departments full of insurance defense attorneys. Their job is to keep the company from paying out the compensation that injured people and their families need. Insurance adjusters and insurance defense lawyers are not on your side; they are there solely to protect the insurance company’s profits.
You cannot negotiate with insurance defense lawyers or battle with them in court by yourself unless you are an experienced litigator. You can rely on our attorneys to protect your interests, however.
