Who Pays The Attorney In My Car Crash Case? – CA Personal Injury Attorney Frank Nunes explains
559-436-0850
Listen as California Personal Injury Attorney Frank Nunes explains who will pay the attorney in your car accident case.
For personal injury cases in the United States, there is a concept called the American Rule that applies, in which each party pays its own attorney’s fees. Certain other types of cases outside of personal injury law have exceptions, such as when there is a statute that applies, or when there is an agreement for the losing side to pay the winning side’s attorney’s fees.
We also use what is called the contingency fee system, in which an attorney is paid a percentage of the recovery. This is negotiated between you and the attorney, and it allows a single person to take on a large corporation, while giving incentive for the attorney to maximize the recovery for the client.
Again, each side generally pays its own attorney’s fees. Watch the video to learn more.
