When a person or corporation responsible for the injury
does not take responsibility and pay everything an
injured person is entitled to in order to make him or
her whole, then a lawyer's advice is necessary to ensure
that the person receives the full amount the law
requires.

Contingency Fees
Beltz & Ruth accept
personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis. The
contingent fee is the most common form of payment arrangement
for claimants seeking representation in personal injury
litigation. Instead of billing the plaintiff on an hourly
basis, a contingency fee means we are entitled to a percentage
of the settlement or trial award. If you do not receive any
compensation for damages, our firm is entitled to nothing. The
contingent fee is perhaps the one device in law that gives
injured people, no matter what their financial means, an even
break in the courtroom against giant corporations and
insurance companies. Were it not for the contingent fee,
people of the middle class or of low economic means would not
be able to have their day in court, a constitutional right
which corporations and insurance companies fight hard to
eliminate.
The "contingent" aspect of the fee means that if there is no
recovery, there is no attorney fee owed. There are a number of
advantages to this type of fee arrangement, the most obvious
of which is the absence of a risk of owing our firm a fee when
there has been no recovery. Another important advantage of
this type of fee arrangement is the security the client should
feel at knowing that has the same incentive as that of the
client. The fact that we are willing to handle a client's case
on a contingent fee basis is a reflection of the confidence in
our ability to obtain a recovery in the case.
Payment of
Costs
In connection with handling your case, it is virtually certain
that will expend funds on your behalf in order to position the
case for settlement and/or trial. Expenses run from fees to
copy medical records, fees to file a lawsuit, transcript fees,
court reporter fees, expert witness fees, and many others. In
complex cases, out of pocket costs to prepare the case for
trial can run into tens of thousands or dollars. In most
cases, we will advance all costs for you so as to enable you
to continue with your case through trial.
When should I contact
a lawyer?
If you have been seriously injured or are unsure as to the
outcome of your injury, then an experienced personal injury
attorney should always be consulted before you give any
statements or sign any papers of any kind and as soon after
your injury as possible.
In a serious injury case, you are better off hiring an
attorney as soon as possible. Most firms offer a free
consultation, with no obligation; therefore, you have nothing
to lose by consulting an attorney before you accept the
insurance company offer.
There is a statute of limitations that requires you to file
suit within a specific period of time, depending upon the
circumstances of your case, or else you will be prohibited
from obtaining any compensation for your injuries. An attorney
will be able to help you keep within the statute of
limitations.
In all personal injury cases it is essential that measures be
taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident
in question, and to enable physicians or other expert
witnesses to thoroughly evaluate all claims and injuries. If
you or a loved one has suffered personal injuries, call Beltz
& Ruth now at 1-888-749-3221 or
CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT A SIMPLE
CASE FORM. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if
we agree to accept your case, we will work on a contingent fee
basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there
is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Don't delay! You may
have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your
injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of
limitations expires. |
