How Much Will it Cost to Hire a Lawyer?

If you’ve been injured by another person’s negligence, you may consider hiring a personal injury lawyer to help with your claim and ensure you get the compensation you deserve. As with any other major decision, the question of what it could cost you comes into play and many people hesitate, assuming it would be cost-prohibitive to have a lawyer represent them.

The amount it will ultimately cost can vary. Each accident is unique, and the cost will vary on a case-by-case basis. Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means a fee is charged only if there is a recovery for you through either a settlement or jury verdict. Once the settlement is issued, the law firm will then be paid their fees, which range between 25-40%, with 33% being the industry standard. This fee not only pays for the legal expertise of your lawyer but also factors in other client expenses such as:

• Expert witnesses
• Court costs
• Court reporters
• Photographs for evidence
• Depositions
• Medical and police records
• Medical bills

Prior to accepting any case, a lawyer will review the contingency fee agreement with you to ensure you understand all the fees associated with your case and which fees and expenses you will be responsible for regardless of what outcome your case receives. If both parties are in agreement, Illinois law requires this contingency fee agreement to be signed by both the lawyer and the plaintiff.

Every case is different and while your case may not require these exact expenses, 844 See Mike is prepared to use whatever resources are necessary for your unique situation to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
