How do personal injury lawyers get paid?
Published: 19th November 2024
If you have been seriously injured due to somebody else’s fault, a personal injury lawyer will usually agree to act for you on a no-win, no-fee basis. That means that as long as you don’t mislead the courts because your lawyer has agreed to write off their own costs and will have insured your case so that you do not have to pay the other side’s legal costs or the cost of medical reports and court fees, and you don’t sabotage your own case by not cooperating, if you lose, you will not have to pay your own legal fees. This is because your lawyer has agreed to write off their own costs and will have insured your case so that you do not have to pay the other side’s legal costs or the cost of medical reports and court fees.
If you win your case, most of your lawyer’s legal costs will be met by the defendants. Generally, you will have to make a contribution to your own legal costs, but our company has voluntarily agreed that for every client, that contribution will not exceed 25% of their damages. It may well be less than 25%, but it will not be more.
