How Contingency Fees Work: Get Legal Representation Without Paying Upfront

If you were injured in an accident but don’t think you can afford a lawyer, you’re not alone. Many people hesitate to seek legal help because they assume it will be too costly.

We have good news for you.

Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless your case is successful.

What Is a Contingency Fee?

A contingency fee is a payment arrangement in which a lawyer is paid a percentage of your settlement or verdict award, rather than charging hourly rates. This allows you to get the legal help you need without the financial burden of paying upfront. Other advantages include:

  • No upfront payment required.
  • A lawyer is only paid if the case is successful.
  • Common in personal injury and certain other civil cases.
  • Provides access to legal help without adding financial stress.


At Kitrick, McWeeney & Wells, LLC, our team is committed to helping you seek justice and recover the compensation you deserve. Our contingency fee arrangement reinforces our dedication to your case—we succeed together.

How Contingency Fees Work

Contingency fees vary depending on the nature and complexity of your case. The exact terms of the fee are discussed before you move forward with legal representation, ensuring you understand all terms and potential costs involved.

If you’re concerned about the cost of legal help, our contingency fee model can provide peace of mind while you focus on recovery.
