Albuquerque Personal Injury Lawyer

Contingent Fee Agreements

In a personal injury case, there are many different complications that can arise, such as obtaining evidence, deciding on a lawyer to help in your case, as well as many others. One major difficulty in a personal injury case is hiring an experienced attorney who will be able to skillfully assist you without completely wiping out your financial foundation. Personal injury cases can be very difficult, long and drawn out, and hiring a lawyer by the hour can be very expensive especially after many hours of work.

At the Law Office of James H. Wood we understand the difficulties that you may be going through; we have over 20 years of experience and have handled numerous personal injury cases. This is why we know that offering contingent fee agreements can relieve a lot of the strain that may be causing you stress. Our firm genuinely cares about our clients; this is why we offer this option. We believe that everyone has the right to a lawyer, but not everyone will seek that aid for financial reasons.

Generally the only entities that hire attorneys by the hour are large corporations that have a large budget for damage control; most people cannot afford to employ a lawyer by the hour, regardless of the circumstances. It is a sad situation where injuries have been sustained or loved ones have been lost due to the negligence of another person, and the victims or the victim's families are unable to seek compensation due to financial limitations.

Contingent fee agreements are performance based agreements, they put the lawyer's interests in line with the client's. The attorney will only be paid a percentage of the winnings that they earn for the client, this way the lawyer must win more for you in order to win more for himself. If the lawyer recovers no winnings in your case, then you will owe no attorney fees. In addition, our firm will have any advances paid back to us after our contingent fee is deducted.
