Contingency Fees - No Recovery No Fee
Blackman Legal Group represents clients in personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis. This means that instead of billing clients on an hourly basis, the law firm only gets paid from the settlement of the case. In the very unlikely event that a case does not settle or is lost at trial, the law firm is not entitled to a fee, but only reimbursement of out of pocket expenses from handling the case (such as copies of records and filing fees).
The contingent fee allows anybody with a good case to get the best legal representation without any money. The expenses of a lawsuit, which can vary, anywhere from $750 to $100,000 or more in very large cases, are advanced by the law firm, which waits to be repaid until the case is settled. Again, this allows any person with a good case the opportunity to have their case handled, and even tried to a jury, without any ability to pay. The contingency fee is the key to the courthouse.

Payment of Costs
In connection with handling your case, our personal injury law firm will spend money on your behalf in order to investigate the case, hire expert witnesses, file the lawsuit with the court, take depositions of witnesses, prepare exhibits for trial, and for other necessary expenses to insure that your case is handled expertly. This creates the best opportunity for settlement of the case, or to have the best chance for a successful verdict from a jury.
These expenses do not have to be paid back by the client until the case is settled and the funds have been received by the law firm, or if the case is lost at trial.
Hiring a Lawyer
The insurance company for the defense is working hard to investigate and defend against your claim immediately. Since there is no expense to you in hiring the personal injury lawyers at Blackman Legal Group to do the same on your behalf, there is no reason to delay. In fact, the earlier your accident attorneys can start working on your case the better the chances are for a good settlement.
