How are Accident Injury Lawyers Paid?
If we don’t make a recovery for you, you don’t owe us a cent. We only get paid if we get money for you. Unlike defense attorneys who are either hired or employed by insurance companies to defend Accident Injury lawsuits on an hourly basis, the plaintiff’s attorneys such as our trial professionals are paid on a contingency basis. Accordingly, almost every plaintiff’s Accident Injury attorney represents clients according to the same fee structure as outlined below.
In short, our clients never have to pay a cent out of their own pocket. If we are able to obtain a recovery for our client without having to file a lawsuit, our fee is 33 1/3% of the recovery. If, on the other hand, we are required to file a lawsuit and perform all the extra work that goes along with litigation, then the attorney’s fee increases to 40% of any recovery. Our firm advances all costs associated with our client’s cases, and our clients never have to pay a cent out of their own pocket. These costs are reimbursed to the firm out of any ultimate recovery. Most importantly, however, if we do not make a recovery for our clients, then they do not owe us a cent either for attorney fees or costs. We only get paid if we make a recovery for our clients. I personally enjoy working for our clients on a contingency fee basis because it puts us in the same boat. Our clients know that the more money we get for them, the more money we earn for ourselves. We are not about to leave even a cent on the table, and we will scratch and claw at the defense until we and our clients are 100% convinced that we are getting every possible cent that we can.
Our worker’s compensation attorneys also use a contingency fee agreement approved by Supreme Court. Worker compensation attorneys are paid a little differently than Accident Injury attorneys. Basically, worker’s compensation attorneys are paid 10% of any recovery, but there are also many instances in which the worker compensation insurance companies have to pay separate attorney’s fee directly to our worker compensation attorneys for obtaining certain benefits for our clients. Again, however, even our worker compensation clients never have to pay a cent out of their own pocket, and we are not paid unless we make a recovery for them.

Possible Differences Between Trial Attorneys and Regular Accident Injury Attorneys
One thing I’ll say about the attorneys of our firm is that they are hungry. Every case represents its own battle with an insurance company, and we’re competitive people who do not want to lose.
We are not passive Accident Injury attorneys who are happy to simply get a promising case. We speak with our clients regularly and help direct our client’s medical treatment. We do not just wait around twiddling our thumbs until our clients tell us they are finished treating. We don’t just want to hurry up and settle cases and move on to the next easy and quick settlement. We are concerned with doing whatever it takes to get the best possible recovery on every single case. We have successfully helped thousands of our accident injury clients recover tens of millions of dollars over the years.
The lawyers of our firm are by our very nature aggressive, not passive. We don’t sit around waiting and hoping for a case to settle. Our office is in regular contact with our clients, and our clients treating physicians. We stay very involved in the medical treatment process to make sure that our clients are treated by any necessary specialists. Finally, we work closely with these doctors to make sure that our client’s medical complaints, the doctor’s treatment recommendations, and the doctor’s opinions regarding the permanency of our client’s injuries are properly explained in narrative form for us to use to our client’s advantage in connection with the client’s case. We still give insurance companies a fair opportunity to settle cases, but we are hypersensitive that these settlements be in our client’s best interest. We never pressure a client to take any settlement and we understand that the client is the boss. Our clients make the decisions, but we always give very clear, easily understood legal advice. We do not use any tricky, confusing, or misleading “legal speak.”
Our firm is certainly not shy about filing lawsuits and seeing them all the way through trial when appropriate. We understand that better results may begin with better preparation. We prepare every case with the expectation that it will go to trial in order to put pressure on the insurance companies to offer top dollar to settle the case. Insurance companies know very well which attorneys are willing to go to distance and which attorneys are simply pushovers looking for a quick and easy settlement. We know all of the games that insurance companies play to try to frustrate regular Accident Injury attorneys, but we don’t let them jerk us around. We’ve worked with almost every insurance company out there at one time or another over the years, and we’re proud of the reputation that we’ve cultivated.

In whiplash, the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, cervical muscles, and nerve roots may become damaged. Symptoms include neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, low back pain, dizziness, and fatigue. Soft tissue injuries such as whiplash are difficult to diagnose and an MRI may be beneficial. Most treatment options include medication, exercise, physical therapy, traction, massage, heat, ice, injections, and ultrasound therapy.

Spinal Cord Injury
Damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal often causes permanent injuries. Your ability to control your limbs after spinal cord injury depends on the place of the injury and the severity of the injury. Paralysis from a spinal cord injury can be referred to as tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia, which means your arms, hands, trunk, legs, and pelvic organs are all affected by the injury. Signs of a spinal cord injury can include extreme back pain, pressure in the neck, head, or back, weakness, numbness, tingling and loss of sensation in your hands, fingers, feet, or toe, loss of bladder or bowel control, difficulty walking and impaired breathing. A serious spinal injury is not always obvious. If you suspect spinal cord injury, do not move the injured person and call 911. It is best to assume there is a spinal cord injury after trauma until proven otherwise.

Paraplegia
Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities and is usually caused by a spinal cord injury or a congenital condition such as spina bifida. The area of the spinal canal that is affected in paraplegia is either the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions. A paraplegic still has the use of their arms and upper body. Spastic paraplegia is a form of paraplegia defined by spasticity of the affected muscles, rather than flaccid paralysis. Individuals with paraplegia can range in levels of difficulty requiring treatments to vary. Physiotherapy is the most common treatment for paraplegia to help regain some motor function. Wheelchair mobility is also an important skill to learn as this will be a paraplegic’s most common form of transportation. There is no treatment to reverse the paralysis.
