No Win, No Fee: How a Contingency Fee Lawyer Works and Why It Benefits You
One of the most common reasons accident victims do not hire a personal injury attorney is fear of cost. They worry that legal fees will eat up whatever compensation they receive, or that they simply cannot afford to pay an attorney while they are already struggling with medical bills and lost wages.
The contingency fee model was designed specifically to solve this problem — and it is the foundation of how Edvin Jones Injury Law operates.
What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee is a legal arrangement in which your attorney’s fees are contingent — meaning they depend — on the outcome of your case. Simply put: if we win, we receive a percentage of the settlement or judgment. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
This is the standard model used by personal injury attorneys across Nevada, Arizona, and California, and it is the reason accident victims with no resources can still access top-quality legal representation.
How the Contingency Fee Works at Edvin Jones Injury Law
Here is exactly how the process works when you hire Edvin Jones Injury Law on a contingency basis:
- Free consultation: Your first meeting with us is completely free. We evaluate your case, explain your rights, and tell you honestly what we think it is worth.
- No upfront costs: You pay nothing to start your case. We cover the costs of investigation, expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and all other case expenses.
- We do the work: We investigate your accident, gather evidence, communicate with insurance companies, and handle all legal proceedings on your behalf.
- Settlement or verdict: When your case resolves — either through settlement or a jury verdict — our fee is deducted from the recovery as an agreed-upon percentage.
- You receive the rest: After our fee and any case expenses are deducted, the remainder goes to you.
What Percentage Does a Contingency Fee Attorney Charge?
Contingency fees in personal injury cases typically range from 33% for cases that settle before trial to higher percentages for cases that go to trial or appeal, reflecting the additional work involved. At your free consultation, we will explain exactly what our fee structure is for your specific case so there are no surprises.
Why the Contingency Model Benefits You
The contingency fee model is structured entirely in your favor in several important ways:
- Zero financial risk: You cannot lose money you don’t have. There are no attorney fees if we don’t win.
- We are aligned with your interests: The more we recover for you, the more we earn. We have every financial incentive to maximize your compensation.
- Access to justice for all: Contingency fees level the playing field, allowing ordinary people to take on insurance companies, corporations, and negligent parties with the same quality of legal representation that the other side enjoys.
- No pressure to settle early: Because we are only paid when you are paid, we have no incentive to push you into a quick, low settlement. We fight until you get what you deserve.
What About Case Costs?
In addition to attorney fees, personal injury cases incur costs for things like obtaining medical records, hiring expert witnesses, court filing fees, and accident reconstruction. At Edvin Jones Injury Law, we advance these costs on your behalf and recover them from the settlement — so you never pay out of pocket during your case.
