What Does it Cost to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer in California?

What will this cost?

You’ve been injured in a car accident and you are considering filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. It’s likely that one of the first questions in your mind is, “How much will hiring a personal injury lawyer in California cost me?”

The short answer is: Filing a personal injury claim shouldn’t cost you a thing, until and unless your attorney wins your case. Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis. A contingency basis means that you don’t pay a penny to the attorney until your case is won, and the payment to the lawyer comes directly out of your settlement. Therefore, you shouldn’t be making any out-of-pocket payments to have an attorney represent you. You will not need to worry about setting up a payment plan.

The May Firm operates on a contingency basis. We promise to take on your personal injury case without requiring upfront fees. All of our fees will be covered as part of the settlement or verdict we help you achieve. If we do not win your case, you will not pay us anything. After being hurt in an auto accident, the last thing you should worry about is how to pay for an attorney. Medical expenses and lost wages are enough of a headache; you don’t need more lawyer-induced money problems.

Early on in our relationship, we will talk about compensation. Typically, The May Firm receives 33-40% of any recovery, but this figure can vary on a case-by-case basis. We will lay out all of the facts and determine a compensation rate that is fair to everyone. Then, you can focus on getting your health and life back in order.
