Personal injury lawyers ask each of their clients to pay them a contingency fee.
Characteristics of contingency fee
The client and personal injury lawyer in Barrie agree on a given percentage. That figure indicates what percent of the monetary funds that could be awarded to the client should be given to the attorney as a contingency fee.
None of the lawyer’s clients must pay a single cent until a specific client’s case has ended, and the same client has received either money from a settlement, or from an order-of-judgment.
A fair compensation includes enough money to cover the full value of the damaging accident.
In determining the full value for a client’s case, a personal injury lawyer looks at more than the cost for the medical expenses and the value of the lost wages. In addition, that lawyer’s examination of the damages should include an analysis of the opportunities that the client might have lost, while recovering from his or her injury. In addition, it should not overlook any mention of the possible need for other treatments or medical tests in the future. Otherwise, the client would have no way to recover financially from the effects of any treatments or tests that had not received specific mention in the doctor’s medical report.
By the same token, a personal injury attorney should ask the insurance company to cover the costs for the client’s pain and suffering. A consideration of pain and suffering could include any of the client’s mental or psychological problems, such as trouble sleeping, depression, anxiety, fear, grief, or loss in the enjoyment of life.
Smart lawyers work with their clients, in order to obtain a journal of their various sensations of pain. Each journal entry ought to offer details on the length of the painful sensation and the nature of that same sensation. Had it created a burning sensation or a prickly feeling? Perhaps it had served as the source of a sharp pain, or a throbbing creator of pain and discomfort?
Possible challenges to payment of an amount of money that equals the full value of the client’s damages
If the client’s medical history happened to mention a former injury or the existence of a chronic medical condition, then the lawyer for the defendant might allege that the client’s present injury was an exaggeration of something that had existed in the body previously.
In a situation of that nature, a smart client should have a lawyer that has the ability to consult with a medical expert. In that way, the lawyer’s consultation with such an expert should provide insight into the veracity, or lack of veracity, in the allegations that had come from those that have sided with the defendant.
