Personal Injury
If you have sustained a bodily injury as a result of someone
else’s negligence, you may have a personal injury claim.
Such a claim may be the result of an automobile accident,
slip and fall, medical malpractice, dog bite, product liability,
etc. If you engage our firm to represent you regarding such
a claim, we typically will agree to represent you based on
a contingent fee agreement. The language of our agreement
typically specifies that if there is no recovery, there will
be no attorney fee and no costs to you. Our attorney fee may
typically vary from 33 1/3% (one-third) to 40%, depending
on the type of matter. For example, medical malpractice cases
are typically handled on a 40% retainer, while automobile
accidents are typically handled on a 33 1/3% retainer. If
there is a recovery on your behalf, we will be entitled to
reimbursement of our costs as well. See the following example
of a sample retainer agreement.
