How Contingency Fees Work in Texas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have been injured in an accident, you know how quickly the bills can pile up: doctor bills, hospital bills\u2014and all those bills you are unable to pay because you can\u2019t work; including your rent or mortgage, utilities, cell phone, car payments and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially in this stressful time, you wonder not only how you\u2019ll ever be able to catch up, but how in the world you\u2019re going to be able to afford a lawyer who can help you get compensation from the person or entity who caused you to be injured in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Texas, personal injury attorneys generally help by taking your case on a contingency fee contract. Not only does this arrangement help you get the compensation you need and deserve for your injuries, it does so without additional financial pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are contingency fees?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you work with one of our\u00a0League City, Texas, personal injury attorneys<\/a>, we do not charge upfront fees, because we take your case on a contingency basis. Simply put, this means that we only get paid if we recover damages for you, including making sure that you are fully compensated for your medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, as well as fighting for your \u201cnon-economic\u201d damages, such as pain and suffering or emotional distress. We work to get you the best possible compensation, and when we do, then\u2014and only then\u00ad\u2014do we get reimbursed for our services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage for you: No worrying about how you will pay legal fees or expenses while you\u2019re recovering. Your legal team is motivated, ready, and experienced in getting you the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do contingency fees work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a contingency fee, the lawyer invests time, effort and money in your case.  If you win the case, the lawyer\u2019s fee and expenses are paid from the settlement or jury verdict.  If you lose, the lawyer is not paid for the time and expenses put into your case. In other words, the lawyer is directly invested in winning your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
