When we watch
television we can not avoid watching commercials of the Law Firms dealing with
personal injury. There are many such commercials we have to listen to and watch
at. I always wonder it must be costly! I am sure it is costly. So, who pays for
all these? Of course the disability insurance fund. The personal injury lawyers work towards getting maximum benefit for the injured person and thereby benefiting
both the client and the lawyer.
How much a personal injury lawyer will cost all together if one needs the service of one?
We need to understand
what the fees of the lawyers and the costs are because these two are not the same. Fees are charged by the lawyers for their time spent on the case. These fees one will
pay only if he/she wins, it is understood. However, what about the costs? Costs are the expenses incurred in furtherance of a case. The Jury
fees, Mediator fees, Postage, Long distance phone charges, Research Service
fees, Exhibit Preparation, Copies, Mileage, Travel costs are costs that one is
responsible for, no matter he/she finally wins the case or not. So, we need to pay attention
and be extremely careful to determine whether to engage a personal injury lawyer.
