If you’ve been involved in an accident, one of the first questions you may have is how much it will cost to hire an attorney. At Morrison & Hughes, we believe in making the legal process as simple as possible — so here’s a straightforward look at how our personal injury fees work.
How Contingency Fees Work
We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning we don’t charge unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so you can focus on getting better instead of worrying about upfront legal bills. There are no retainers and no hourly billing on a personal injury claim; our payment comes only out of the money we recover for you.
Typically about one-third of the recovery when your case settles without going to court.
If we have to file a lawsuit to get you a fair result, the fee is 40% of the recovery.
No Fees for Property Damage
We believe you should receive the full compensation you’re owed for property damage. That’s why we don’t charge attorney fees on property damage claims, such as damage to your vehicle. Whether your car is totaled or needs repairs, the insurance company pays you directly — with no deductions for legal fees.
When Should You Hire an Attorney?
If your injuries are serious, if you have significant medical bills, or if you’ve experienced ongoing pain or vehicle damage, it’s time to talk to a lawyer. Legal representation can help ensure you receive fair compensation for your losses. Even if you’re unsure, a consultation can clarify your options and help you make informed decisions. Consider reaching out if:
- Your injuries required medical treatment, hospitalization, or ongoing care.
- You’re facing significant or mounting medical bills.
- You’ve lost wages or time away from work.
- You’re dealing with lasting pain, or major damage to your vehicle.
- An insurance adjuster is pressuring you to settle quickly.
