Do I have to pay upfront to hire a boat accident lawyer?

In the unfortunate case where you have sustained injuries from a boating accident, the repercussions of your healing and recovery will most certainly place a financial burden on you because of medical expenses, your inability to work, and a host of other ancillary costs activated as a result of your injury.

Our boating accident lawyer can help you through this trying time by pursuing compensation on your behalf. Many may hesitate to hire a lawyer due to concerns about the cost.

Understanding the different types of fees can ensure you make informed decisions when choosing legal representation. There is no singular way for attorneys to charge fees when handling a case. Usually, they charge their clients differently depending on factors like the type of case and the foreseeable length of the case. Generally, lawyer fees can be categorized into three types:

• hourly rates
• flat fee
• contingency fee

Hiring a boating accident lawyer without any money upfront is possible through a contingency fee. Agreeing upon a contingency fee means that your attorney:

• only gets paid if there's a settlement
• receives a percentage of the compensation you won
• starts working on your case without an upfront payment

Our law offices work on a contingency fee basis, meaning the fee for the attorney's services is not upfront and is dependent on the outcome of the case. The fees are variable and negotiable. One essential aspect is that our law offices don’t charge fees unless a case is settled or won in trial.
