What Does it Cost?
You don’t pay our attorney fee unless we recover money for you.
If we don’t collect money for you in a settlement or trial of your Oregon car accident case, you will not owe us an attorney fee.
If we accept your case and recover money for you, our attorney fee will be a percentage of what we recover. The percentage changes depending on when the case is resolved. It starts at 30% if the case is settled before a lawsuit is filed. It ends at 40% if the case is taken to trial. The client decides whether or not he or she will accept a settlement offer.
Costs
It’s important to understand that costs remain the client’s responsibility. Are “costs” just a clever way to make sure that lawyers get paid regardless of whether they win or lose? No. Costs are expenses paid to the court, people, and businesses for things that are needed to bring a case to trial. Examples are court filing fees, expert witness fees, process server and court reporter fees, and similar expenses. We do not “mark up” these costs. If we don’t win, we make nothing on your case.
If our client cannot pay costs as expenses come due, we will advance costs that are reasonably necessary to pursue his or her Oregon car accident case. If recovery is not enough to cover the expenses that we have paid on a case, we will not require the client to pay us back the difference.
