Most Florida personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency fee basis. That means that the client pays no upfront costs to have the attorney work on the case. The lawyer only collects a fee if he or she wins compensation on your behalf. That is usually a percentage of the gross recovery, which you will discuss before signing a fee agreement.
The system works to the client’s advantage because it places the risk on the lawyer. A personal injury attorney will only take on a case that he or she believes is strong.
With that said, no lawyer should ever promise positive results. If you interview a lawyer who guarantees a win, walk away immediately.
