Will I be Responsible to Pay Costs if My Case is Unsuccessful?

In addition to attorneys' fees, there are expenses that may be associated with injury claims. These may include court filing fees, investigators' expenses, expert witness fees, postage, and other costs. Different law firms handle the expenses that are related to injury cases differently. Some require their clients to pay for the costs as they arise while others collect the expenses out of the settlements or verdicts that they win for their clients. You will want to know how the law firm handles case-related costs. Lawyers should talk to you before they incur costs to get your approval of them. If the law firm waits until cases are settled or won before they collect the case-related costs, you will want to know if you will be billed for them if your case is lost.
