In a contingency arrangement, there’s no way for the lawyer to string a client along just to rack up legal fees because you don’t pay by the hour; you pay based on results. Lawyers who work on contingency are basically taking the risk that they’ll win the case. Working on your case is entirely their decision, but if it seems like a good one, a contingency agreement can be a win/win situation. The lawyer will get paid if they win the claim—and they obviously believe they will if they took the case—and you stand to get compensation if they win, without additional financial risk. This allows a client and an attorney to work together toward a common goal.
The best time to call a car accident lawyer is right after the wreck. You would do well to call one before you call your insurance company. Ideally, you’ll talk to your attorney about the wreck before you give a recorded statement.
