One of the most common reasons individuals fail to seek legal counsel when needed is fear of the cost. It’s no surprise that attorneys can cost a great deal of money, and individuals simply avoid them rather than hear the dreaded price tag. However, when it comes to personal injury cases, consumers can be in for some good news.
In an increasing number of cases, a personal injury attorney in Bremerton can be found who will take a personal injury cases on contingency. What this means to the average person is that the attorney believes in the case so much, they are willing to put off getting paid until the case is won, then take a percentage of the settlement. However, if the case isn’t won, he doesn’t get paid. This method of payment encourages people who’ve been hit hard with many medical bills resulting from the accident to seek the legal help they so badly need.
Other money-saving options a personal injury attorney in Bremerton may offer to the injury victim is a free initial consultation. While many attorneys do offer this, don’t assume they all do. Ask when you call to make an appointment so there are no surprises. At the initial consultation, the injured party will take all their paperwork, pictures from the accident, copies of their insurance policy, statements from the doctors, and prognosis for the future. This will allow the attorney to make a determination as to whether or not the case is one they want to take on.
At the same time the attorney is deciding if the case has merit, the victim is evaluating the attorney and deciding if their office is capable of handling the case, if they are the right match for them personally, and if they have the time and resources available to take on a case such as this. Ask questions and find out if they’ve won cases similar to yours, if most of their cases go to trial or if their settled out of court.
