Most Tulsa personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis. This means clients pay nothing unless the case is a success. If the case is won, the attorney would receive around 33% of the settlement check the insurance company had to provide the victim.
How Is The Cost of My Personal Injury Lawyer Determined?
Personal injury lawyers generally work under a “contingency agreement.” It means they cover all upfront charges to investigate and prepare your case without charging you anything. If they lose your case, you don’t owe them anything.
If they win your case for you, you still don’t need to withdraw your own savings to pay your lawyer. Your lawyer is paid out of the settlement check an insurance company must write you or out of a judgment a judge and jury award you.
If you win, most lawyers would take around a third of your settlement amount. This fee is paid to make up for the risk the lawyer took in funding your case. The lawyer and staff members put in valuable work hours, and cover investigative fees and court costs without a guarantee they’ll get anything back. Cases can fail for many reasons beyond a lawyer’s control.
Through powerful legal representation, the goal is to win the client much more support than they could have secured on their own. This should be true even after you pay your lawyer.
What Does Ylla|Gosney Charge Personal Injury Victims?
Ylla|Goseny would make sure you understood what you would be paying us and how we get paid. This should be made clear before lawyers ask you to sign a “retainer agreement” to officially hire them. If an attorney doesn’t seem interested in letting you know what you’ll have to pay, it may be time to work with another law firm.
Our Tulsa personal injury lawyers charge around the industry standard for our services but with one big difference. Our lawyers work with you and can adjust their fees if they feel you haven’t been awarded enough to cover all of your medical bills and lost time at work.
Do I Need a Lawyer for my Tulsa Personal Injury Case?
If your accident only results in some minor scratches and bruising, you may not need to ask a lawyer for help with your case. But if you suffer a more serious injury, like a broken arm or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), turning your case over to a lawyer gives you a better chance of securing the money you need to recover physically and financially.
Insurance companies have trained their adjusters to poke holes in your case. They can point the finger of blame at you unfairly. They might downplay how long your injuries will take to heal. At Ylla|Gosney we fight to protect our clients and earn them the maximum in compensation for what they’ve been through and may still have to endure.
