Contingency Fees

Even after being involved in a serious accident, most individuals are hesitant and uncertain about retaining a Beaumont personal injury attorney because they believe they cannot afford one. What they may not realize is that many attorneys charge a contingency fee, making it affordable for anyone to retain their services. Brasher Law Firm, PLLC operates on a contingency fee basis, proudly offering excellent trial litigation without causing our clients further financial damage.

Contingency fees are attorney fees that are paid out of the total recovery for a personal injury claim. This means that you only have to pay if we win and you never have to pay out-of-pocket. Our lawyers will be motivated to fight aggressively for maximum compensation, since a higher recovery results in more payment for us on top of higher compensation for you. Because of this motivating factor, contingency fees are much more beneficial than other traditional attorney fees, which provide little encouragement for attorneys to work hard and win as high a recovery as possible.

For example, personal injury lawyers who charge flat-rate fees know how much they’ll receive in the end, regardless of whether or not they recover as much compensation as possible. Instead, the attorney might try to rush the case and end it as soon as possible so that they can fit more cases into a shorter period of time. There are also hourly rates, which can have the opposite risk.

Since the lawyer is paid for each hour they spend on a case, they may bill the client for more hours than were actually spent on the case, or they might draw the case out longer than necessary in order to increase their payment. Few personal injury attorneys actually engage in such unethical behavior; however, contingency fees offer no encouragement for such behavior. Instead, they encourage your attorney to work hard and quickly for a fast and satisfactory outcome.
