Personal Injury No Win No Fee Lawyers

A contingent pay system comes with many benefits. The most notable ones include the following:

Zero Risks Involved

Some car accident cases are more complex than others. Depending on the unique circumstances of the case, the verdict could swing in either direction. However, when you have a contingent pay agreement with your attorney, you will not have to worry about investing your time, money, and resources in a case and risk losing it all if the other party wins.

This is because the attorney will use their own time, money, and resources to investigate the claim and build a strong case against the other party. If they lose the case, you do not recover anything. But, importantly, you do not lose anything.

Better Chance at Winning

You have a higher chance of winning the case when you sign a contingent pay agreement with an attorney. This is because the attorney knows that they will only make money from the case if they win. As a result, they will do everything they can to win. In fact, other than fighting for your rights, it is safe to say that the attorney's other motivation to win is to collect a portion of the settlement.

Better Chance of Maximizing Your Claim

Because a contingent payment agreement allows the attorney to deduct a portion of the settlement to cover legal costs and attorney fees, they are always motivated to maximize the settlement. To better understand how a contingency pay agreement can lead to a better settlement award, let's look at it from a different perspective.

When an attorney charges a flat rate to fight for the injured, this option is less motivating. This is because the lawyer is guaranteed to get paid even if they lose the case. On the other hand, the fact that the attorney is not secured any payment unless they win makes them work even harder. This is because they know that the only way they will recover their legal costs is by winning.

Knowing Whether You Have a Valid Case

Because this payment structure allows attorneys to recover legal fees only if they win, they will not take invalid claims. This is one of the best ways to determine whether you have a valid claim. On the contrary, a rogue attorney who gets paid hourly will likely take on your case despite knowing you do not have a valid claim. After all, if you lose, they will still make money from their hourly wages.

Morgan and Morgan usually take between 30 to 40 percent of the settlement amount. This payment goes into settling attorney fees and other legal costs involved in pursuing your much-deserved compensation.

Yes, you can. In fact, it can be very tempting to settle such a claim without an attorney. However, before doing that, it is important you consider both the pros and cons.

The most obvious advantage is that if you win the case, you will pocket the entire settlement and not have to pay legal fees. Keep in mind that you may need to pay back your health insurer for the treatment they provided while your case was still in progress. This process is known as subrogation. Other than the medical lien, you will likely pocket the remainder of the settlement.

Sounds better than hiring an attorney, right? Not really. Here is why.

When you get injured in a car accident, you will not be compensated simply because of your injuries. There is more to winning a car accident case than showing pictures and videos of your injuries or diaries of how such an accident impacted your life.

Rather, you will need to go deeper into consulting professionals, collecting crucial evidence, researching complex laws, interviewing witnesses, obtaining official records, and so much more. These processes can be overwhelming and frustrating, especially if you are still nursing your injuries. In addition, the other party will likely frustrate you because they know you do not have an attorney to fight for you.

You will likely be overwhelmed by the legal jargon in the mountains of paperwork you must file with the court, the insurance companies, and other parties related to the case. Keep in mind that these cases are time-sensitive, if you miss a deadline, you might lose your chance to seek compensation.

For example, in Washington, you have up to three years from the accident date to file a claim. If you do not file such a claim within three years, you cannot pursue compensation further. The saddest thing is that depending on the severity of your injuries, you may spend half of these years recovering, leaving you with limited or no time at all to file a claim.

Let's say you file a successful claim and get a settlement offer from the insurance company. Of course, this does not mean you have won the case. In fact, one of the key reasons insurance companies will agree to settle a claim quickly is cause they do not want you to hire an attorney. And once you sign the settlement agreement, there is no turning back.

It will not matter whether you just recently discovered that the insurance provider offered way less than what you were entitled to. Once the settlement agreement is signed, the case is considered closed. And when that happens, there is very little or almost nothing an attorney can do to help.

We could go on all day long explaining why settling a car accident claim without an attorney is never advisable if you have suffered serious injuries. The bottom line is that although an attorney will take a small fraction of the settlement, it is usually worth it rather than risking losing everything you may have been entitled to.

No, we do not charge any fees to evaluate cases. We do it for free. And because we are a personal injury law firm, we know how car accidents can drain you financially. You will likely have huge medical bills, including your day-to-day expenses. For this reason, we offer a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

The client process at Morgan and Morgan is quite straightforward, as discussed below.

First, you will need to contact us by filling out our free case evaluation form. You can also call us directly by dialing the phone number at the top of our website. While filling out the case evaluation form, remember to provide as much information as possible about the accident.

Next, a member of our client intake team will review your case to determine whether you have valid legal grounds to pursue compensation. If your case is valid, we will contact you to discuss how to proceed.

Because we are the largest personal injury firm in the country, our lawyers serve clients from coast to state. So whether you live in the east, west, north, or south of the United States, there is always a Morgan and Morgan attorney ready to fight for you.

The greatest benefit of hiring the largest injury firm in the country to represent you is that you can rest easy knowing that your case is in safe hands. But we did not earn this title overnight; it has taken over three years of hard work and commitment to fighting for the rights of the injured.

By the time of writing, our attorneys have recovered over $13 billion as compensation for our clients for various injuries they sustained due to negligence. One great advantage of hiring a firm with a solid history of winning huge settlements is that they will never be excited by lowball offers.

On the other hand, smaller law firms tend to be in a rush to close cases. This is because some are still struggling to make their mark in the personal injury field. Others do not have a strong case and are happy to settle for anything to cut costs.

But things are different with Morgan and Morgan. We do not settle for less than what you deserve.

Absolutely. If the other party refuses to settle, our attorneys are always ready to take the case to court. And when they do so, the defendant ends up settling the legal costs. For this reason, many insurance companies prefer settling cases out of court through negotiations.

Yes, Morgan and Morgan attorneys can represent you throughout the settlement negotiations. But that is not the only thing we can do. When you hire us to fight for you, we will:

• Review your case to determine whether it is valid
• Review existing evidence to determine whether it is good enough to support your claim
• Help you gather crucial evidence to prove your case if the need arises
• Assess your damages and injuries
• Identify the parties responsible for the car accident
• File a car accident claim with their insurance company
• Represent you throughout the negotiation process
• File a car accident lawsuit if the other party refuses to settle
