When entering a personal injury lawsuit, your first question is often ‘How much is this going to cost me?’  You may already be missing work from your injuries, and the idea you have to pay even more money to recoup costs continuously lost can be stressful. Why bother when you may end up losing

Good news- It shouldn’t cost you anything out of pocket. Most lawyers who deal with personal injury suits do so on a contingent fee, meaning their fee may or may not happen.
