Accident Attorneys in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa - Legal Expenses and Contingency Fees

In pursuing personal injury claims, expenses are incurred (the costs related to investigating, documenting, and proving the claim).  While accident attorneys generally advance these costs, they are an additional expense beyond the contingent attorneys’ fees.  These expenses include such things as court filing fees, fees that hospitals and doctors charge for obtaining medical records, photocopy expenses, fees police departments charge for copies of investigation reports and photographs, expert witness fees, deposition court reporter fees, and so on. 

In Arizona, attorneys are permitted to make the collection from clients of these costs advanced contingent on recovering money – just as with the contingent attorneys’ fees – or they can be the responsibility of the client, whether or not there is a recovery.  At the Phoenix office of Begam & Marks, our accident lawyers have chosen to make the collection of all costs contingent on recovering money for the client.  If we do not recover money on your behalf, you are not responsible to repay the costs advanced on your behalf. To schedule a consultation to discuss your accident claim, please contact our attorneys today, serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Buckeye, Sun City, Surprise and other Arizona towns.

Contingency Fees

Contingent fee practice has been an essential ingredient in our justice system for more than 100 years.  It permits every American, regardless of wealth or social standing, the opportunity to pursue a valid claim against even the most powerful corporation or individual.  In large measure, it has made our justice system the envy of the world.  It breathes life into the democratic ideals that no one is above the law and everyone must be accountable for his or her behavior. 

A contingency fee simply means that if the injured person does not receive compensation for damages, the attorney receives nothing.  If the attorney is successful, the fee is a percentage of the total amount recovered.  Most attorneys in Arizona, even those that are personal injury specialists, usually handle automobile crash cases on a one-third contingency fee and more complex matters such as product liability and medical negligence cases on a slightly higher percentage.  The percentage can be lowered depending on the circumstances.
