You Can Afford an Excellent Personal Injury Lawyer in Houston

Too often, people seriously injured in a Houston accident end up taking on accident-related expenses themselves because they do not think they can afford an attorney. However, many accident victims may not know that excellent personal injury attorneys in Houston represent clients on what is known as a contingency fee agreement.

A contingency fee agreement is a type of arrangement where a lawyer will agree to represent you in your Houston personal injury case without any upfront fees but instead based on a percentage of whatever money they obtain for you, whether through a settlement or judgment.

When you sign a contingency fee agreement, you do not need to pay any upfront costs to bring a case. You will not pay a lawyer an hourly fee. In most contingent fee situations, lawyers will advance litigation costs, such as filing fees, expert witness expenses, investigation costs and more. If you succeed in your claim, only then will you pay the attorney for their legal fees and the costs they paid on your behalf. In other words, your lawyer will only get paid if the attorney wins your case by recovering money for you.

Contingency fee agreements are common in personal injury claims of all kinds, including:

• Wrongful death
• Burn injuries
• Electrical injuries
• Construction injuries
• Workplace accident injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Truck accident injuries
• Slip and fall injuries

Why a Contingency Fee Agreement Makes Sense for Lawyers and Clients

Contingency fee agreements present a lot of risk for lawyers. You may wonder why the best personal injury lawyers in Houston would agree to take on this risk. There are a few reasons why lawyers use contingency fee agreements.

First, many personal injury victims would not be able to afford to bring a lawsuit if they had to pay attorney fees out of pocket at the outset. If lawyers insisted on charging an hourly rate for a personal injury claim, very few injury victims would ever bring a case. This would mean that negligent parties would rarely be held accountable for their actions, and accident victims would end up footing the bill. In this way, representing clients on a contingency fee basis enables a lawyer to take cases that they may not otherwise have been able to.

Second, contingency fee agreements best align the interests of lawyers and their clients. If you pay a lawyer by the hour, there is an inherent conflict. You are interested in resolving the claim as quickly as possible and keeping legal fees to a minimum. On the other hand, the lawyer would know they are getting paid either way and would not have a vested interest in the case’s outcome. However, in a contingency fee arrangement, lawyers and clients both have the same interest—to resolve the case for the maximum amount of damages.

For clients, one of the biggest benefits of contingency fee agreements is that there is no risk to bringing a claim. You will not need to pay for any upfront costs to bring a claim, and you will not be responsible for any legal fees unless you win.

The Cost of Bringing a Houston Personal Injury Case

Most personal injury lawyers will pay the costs and expenses needed to bring and develop the case. The client does not have to pay anything out of pocket. The upfront costs required to bring a personal injury claim in Houston can be significant. Personal injury cases are often complex, and litigating these claims can be costly. For example, the following expenses are typical to prepare and litigate a case successfully:

• Filing fees and court costs
• Service fees
• Investigation expenses
• Deposition and transcription costs
• Expert witness expenses
• Travel fees

A contingency fee agreement will list all the expenses that your lawyer will cover, so you can have peace of mind knowing that there will be no unexpected costs in the middle of the process.
