How Does a Contingency Fee Work?
In a contingency fee agreement, you only pay for your attorney's services if the lawyer secures compensation on your behalf. If you win your case, your lawyer will receive a fixed percentage of the financial award. If you lose, you don't have to pay anything. At face value, a contingency fee means exactly what it sounds like: your attorney's fee is contingent upon the outcome of your case. A contingency fee arrangement is particularly appealing to injury victims since there's little financial risk involved, and there is potentially much to gain through financial recovery. You can learn more with a free initial consultation from our firm.
A Lawyer Can Determine if You Have a Valid Claim
The easiest way to figure out if you have recourse to pursue compensation from another party is to get a free case evaluation. During your free consultation, you can learn your legal rights and options before you decide what to do next.A contingency fee attorney in Indiana can answer your questions and assess your eligibility. Broadly speaking, a personal injury claim should include the following elements:
You were owed a duty of care
That duty of care was breached as a result of negligence, and you were injured
You suffered damages (financial losses) as a direct result of your injury
Remember that the burden of proof is on you and your personal injury attorney. To have a successful case, under Indiana Code 34-51-2-6, you'll need to demonstrate that your claim has a greater than 50% chance of being true.
