How Much Will An Auto Accident Attorney Cost Me?
Most personal injury lawyers work on what is called a contingency fee. This means that their fee is dependent on whether or not your case is won. Simply put – if you don’t win, we don’t get paid. This works to your advantage, believe it or not. History has shown that the settlements are higher when the injured party from a car accident has an attorney advocating for them.
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses. They don’t want to pay for an accident, and they have a team of lawyers working to find ways to decrease the payout. At Ritchie Reiersen Law in Vancouver, we believe that each person deserves to be properly compensated for their suffering due to the negligence of others.
We work hand-in-hand with you to determine the many ways an injury from a car accident has and will impact your life. The lawyers who are working for the insurance company will not get away with underestimating the value of your injuries. We will focus on your needs and your rights and hold the negligent party responsible. Most importantly, we will fight for what is right for you, not what the insurance company wants.
Our goal is to work hard to get you the maximum compensation you deserve and help you get back on the road to recovery.
