Understanding Contingency Fees in Connecticut: You Don’t Pay Unless We Win (A Ventura Law Guide)
Introduction: You’ve Been Injured, Now What?
If you’ve been injured in an accident in Connecticut, you may be overwhelmed with medical bills, missed work, and calls from insurance companies. Hiring a lawyer might seem like just another cost you can’t afford. That’s where contingency fees come in and where Ventura Law stands firmly by your side.
At Ventura Law, we believe that everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of financial situation. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis, you don’t pay unless we win your case.
What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where your attorney’s fee is contingent, meaning it depends on the outcome of your case. If you don’t win, you don’t pay legal fees. It’s that simple.
Unlike hourly billing, where attorneys charge for every phone call and email, a contingency fee allows you to hire a personal injury lawyer in Connecticut without paying anything upfront.
Here’s an example:
Imagine you’re involved in a car accident and want to pursue an injury claim. With a contingency fee agreement, Ventura Law would handle every aspect of your case—investigating, negotiating, and potentially litigating—without billing you hourly. If we recover compensation for you, our legal fee is a percentage of that settlement. If we don’t recover anything, you owe nothing.
