Our firm charges a contingent fee for handling these types of cases. This means that our fee will be a percentage of the total recovery. The percentage varies based upon when the case is resolved. If the case is settled early, the fee will be a lower percentage than if it is resolved closer to or after the hearing. The specific percentage will be discussed during our consultation and will be set forth in a written fee agreement.
In addition to our fee, you will be responsible for paying expert witness charges, filing fees, and other costs that the attorney incurs on your behalf. Sometimes these costs can be quite substantial. Therefore, we will normally discuss these before they are incurred.
