Understanding Contingent Fee Contracts

If you have suffered personal loss as the result of the negligence of another party, it’s important you find a San Antonio law firm with the experience you need to win your case. However, many people are concerned they could never afford quality legal assistance. That’s why it’s important for you to hire a law firm who will work with you in understanding contingency fee contracts.

Simply put, a contingency fee contract ensures you have little to no upfront expense. You will not be charged any legal fees unless your case receives a favorable judgment. At that time, the lawyer receives a percentage the award. In the event you lose your case, then the lawyer receives no legal fees.

When an injured party is attempting to recover monetary compensation for damages arising from an accident, a contingency fee contract is a standard practice among reputable law firms. For many people, this is the only means by which quality legal help can be secured. Understanding contingency fee contracts is an important part of selecting a law firm to represent you. While each law firm is different and will set up its own criteria by which they will accept a contingency fee contract, most will offer this option to alleviate the financial burden an injured party faces so the legal process can move forward.

The State of Texas allows law firms to work on a contingency fee basis and has regulations in place to govern the terms and execution of contingency fee contracts. Operating under a contingency fee contract provides an incentive to your attorney to pursue the greatest possible settlement for your case. It is important to note that while many law firms will work on a contingency fee basis, there are many approaches to how this can work for you. When speaking to a San Antonio attorney, be sure to ask how a contingency fee contract will be executed in your specific case.
