You should not need savings to hold a wrongdoer accountable. Here is how contingency fees work in Vermont injury cases.
No Upfront Cost
In a contingency arrangement, you pay no attorney's fee unless and until there is a recovery. The fee is a percentage of what you receive, so legal help is available regardless of your financial situation after an injury.
Aligned Incentives
Because the lawyer is paid only if you recover, their interest is aligned with yours: maximize the result. It also means they screen cases for merit before taking them on.
Understanding Costs
Case expenses, such as records and expert fees, are separate from the fee and are usually advanced by the firm and repaid from the recovery. A clear written agreement spells this out.
