Does a Contingency Fee Cover Court Costs and Related Fees?

April 30, 2023 by McPhillips, Fitzgerald & Cullum, LLP

There are a lot of expenses that accompany the filing and completion of a personal injury lawsuit. For example, filing fees, fees for transcripts, hiring expert witnesses, obtaining medical records, and many more expenses are expected from the beginning of a case. In many instances, these are out-of-pocket expenses for the plaintiff.

We understand that financing a lawsuit is expensive and do not believe that fees should impede seeking justice. Therefore, when you choose McPhillips Fitzgerald & Cullum, LLP, we cover these fees up front, enabling us to keep your claim progressing while positioning it for the best possible outcome.

Our contingency agreement is simple: we provide experienced legal representation, front out-of-pocket expenses, and take your case as far as needed to help secure fair compensation. If we fail to secure compensation, you pay no attorney fees. You may, however, be responsible for other fees fronted by our office during your claim.

At your complimentary case review, we can discuss possible fees and costs to help you determine if taking legal action is your best option.

Why Take a Case on Contingency?

Injury can be extremely expensive. Depending on the type, it can make working impossible, alter physical and mental abilities, impact emotional comfort, force changes to lifestyle, and create a lifetime of difficulty. The expenses related to initial and long-term recovery can be shocking as well. Worse still, they can be demoralizing and defeating, leaving victims to wonder how they will ever make ends meet again.

At McPhillips Fitzgerald & Cullum, LLP, we know that no one anticipates an injury, and very few are prepared to cover the costs associated with one. We work on a contingency basis and front related fees so you don’t have to.

We take personal injury claims contingently because we are confident in our experience and abilities. We have a long and proud history of securing significant verdicts and settlements for victims of severe injury and give our all in every case we take. If you have been injured, we encourage you to get in touch for a free consultation where we can assess your case and help you choose the next best steps.

Please call us at 518-792-1174 to schedule a free consultation today. We have offices in Glen Falls and Chestertown, New York, along with Miami Shores, Florida, and serve families living in all nearby areas.
