WHAT DOES LAWYER COST FOR CAR ACCIDENT INJURY CASE IN MINNESOTA?
A lawyer will work on a contingency fee in most car accident or other personal injury cases. This means the lawyer only gets paid a percentage of the settlement or jury award collected. In other words, if the lawyer does not get you compensation, the lawyer does not get paid.
However, some law firms require the client to pay the expenses of the case, e.g. filing fees, cost of medical records, etc., by paying a deposit in advance. Our firm does not do that. The expenses to prove a case include getting police reports, medical records, investigator fees and more. In many cases, the expenses are a few hundred dollars. However, there are some cases where the expenses can be thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. We pay the client’s expenses upfront. Further, if we do not make a recovery for the client, we do not ask the client to pay back the expenses.
A car accident is already stressful. You have to deal with repairing or replacing your vehicle, doctor appointments, and missed time from work.Having to worry about paying a lawyer or how the lawyer charges for a car accident case would make it that much worse. Therefore, we are happy to take that concern out of the equation for our clients.
