People injured in car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle wrecks, and other personal injury accidents caused by someone else's negligence can often file an insurance claim or lawsuit to seek compensation for related injuries and losses.
However, many accident victims worry they won't be able to afford an attorney to help guide them through the personal injury litigation process.
Fortunately, when it comes to personal injury law, not having a thick pocketbook doesn't have to translate to a denial of justice.
Many personal injury attorneys work on contingency. This means their fees depend on how much they're able to recover for the client. Under a contingency fee arrangement, rather than having clients pay fees for legal services up front, the attorneys instead receive a percentage of the clients' settlement or financial award. This percentage varies, but in Georgia, it's often one-third of an accident victim's recovery—potentially more if the case goes to trial.
Some personal injury victims may be hesitant to part with one-third of their settlements. However, numerous studies show that victims represented by attorneys receive significantly larger settlements than those who choose to handle their personal injury claims without legal representation.
Personal injury attorneys can help people seek compensation for a wide range of financial issues, including medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, loss of earning potential, pain and suffering, mental anguish, scarring or disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.
