The Columbus personal injury lawyers at The Fitch Law Firm work on what is known as a contingent fee. That means that if there is no recovery, there is no fee.
How Do Contingency Fees for Personal Injury Services Work?
Working on a contingency fee basis means we work on a percentage basis. The percentage basis is a percentage of the gross amount recovered on behalf of the client for their losses in a personal injury case. Our fee varies depending on the type of personal injury case that we’re handling. It would not be uncommon for us to charge a 25% fee pre-litigation or prior to the time the suit was filed for a simple automobile accident case in which there was no dispute about liability.
In addition to that, we’d advance expenses on behalf of the client. So, to make things simple, let’s assume that the total recovery is $10,000. The fee, in that case, would be $2,500. If we advance $100 in expenses, we’d also be repaid the expenses in that case. If, on the other hand, the case is not successful and we’re not able to recover anything on behalf of the client, there is no fee, and the client would not be obligated to pay any expenses.
We Also Do Not Charge for the Initial Consultation
