When you’re hurt in an accident—whether from a car crash, slip and fall, or another incident—the financial pressure can feel unbearable. Medical bills pile up, income drops, and stress builds fast. The last thing you should worry about is affording a lawyer. That’s where hiring a contingency fee personal injury lawyer can make all the difference.
At Colvin Accident Lawyers, we believe financial limitations should never block your path to justice. Our contingency fee structure ensures that anyone can pursue rightful compensation—without paying a cent upfront. Let’s explore how it works and why it’s designed to protect you.
A contingency fee means your attorney only gets paid if you win your case. Instead of charging hourly rates or upfront retainers, your lawyer receives a percentage of your settlement or judgment.
In simple terms:
If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
This approach gives clients peace of mind and removes the financial risk of pursuing a claim.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with Colvin Accident Lawyers:
Free Consultation: Every case review is 100% free.
Fee Percentage: Typically ranges between 33%–40%, depending on case complexity and whether it goes to trial.
No Upfront Costs: We advance all necessary expenses—filing fees, expert witnesses, and investigations.
Payment Only If You Win: Once your case settles or a verdict is reached, we take our agreed percentage. If you don’t win, you owe us nothing.
1. No Financial Barriers: You don’t need deep pockets to access top-quality representation.
2. Aligned Interests: We only win when you do, ensuring our goals are the same.
3. Less Stress, Less Risk: No hourly billing or surprise invoices.
4. Full Transparency: All terms are clearly explained and agreed upon before we begin.
Your contingency fee covers a wide range of services, including:
Legal representation and negotiations
Filing fees and court costs (advanced by our firm)
Trial preparation and expert testimony
Investigative work and evidence gathering
Once your case is resolved, any advanced costs are reimbursed from the settlement—but only after you receive your compensation.
