If you’ve been looking into finding a California personal injury attorney then you’ve likely heard or read them say, “No recovery, no fee!” While not all personal injury lawyers offer this option, most do – and we certainly do at Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas. Read on to learn more about what we mean by this and why it’s an advantage to you.
Taking your case on contingency – what it really means
The legal terminology we use is taking your case on ‘contingency’. But what does that really mean? It means that we don’t charge you until there’s some monetary recovery for you. We handle all costs associated with your case and we take our fee out of your settlement. During your free initial consultation, we’ll discuss our fee structure with you. Our goal is always to ensure you’re well informed and that you’re on board with the way this program works.
If we don’t recover money for you then you don’t pay us
It’s true – if we take your case and fight it, and then don’t recover for some reason, then you won’t owe us a penny. There are actually two main advantages to this versus a traditional pay-by-the-hour option.
First, the obvious advantage is that you won’t have to pay us as you go. Many people who are dealing with wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, and other personal liability cases are shouldered with significant medical or other bills and simply wouldn’t be able to get the justice they deserve if they had to hire an attorney out of pocket.
Second, you can trust that we will fight as hard as possible for your case. We always do our best for every single client we work with, but you’ll have extra confidence in our commitment when you know that we won’t get paid unless you do. This also incentivizes us to get you the biggest possible award instead of trying to settle quickly. Of course, we will always follow your instructions and handle your case according to your preferences.
We really do pay all litigation costs
When you think about the costs of taking your case on, don’t just think about our hourly fee. It’s true that our staff needs to be compensated for the work they do, but there are a lot of other fees we’ll cover too. Depending on your case, you may need expert witnesses, court filing fees, private investigators, and other costs of litigation. You never have to worry about these fees.
