The cost of hiring a Houston refinery explosion attorney depends on many factors. What is most important for victims to know is that you do not pay anything out of pocket for our legal services. Instead, we operate on a contingency basis. This means you do not pay our oil refinery explosion lawyer at The Doan Law Firm until we win your case.
A contingency fee schedule allows you to get the legal help you need now without paying anything up front. Rather, our personal injury attorneys get to work, handle all aspects of your case for you, and charge you a specific percentage fee if you win your case.
The contingency fee ranges from 33.3% up to 50%, and depends on numerous factors in your case. Some of those factors include:
In most situations, you can expect a pre-suit settlement, one that does not go to a lawsuit in court, to have a fee range of 33.3% up to 35%. If the case goes to litigation, you can expect this to increase to 40%-45%. Appeals can add more to this, in some situations.
In a complex case or one that leads to a class action suit or mass tort, the costs can top 50%. You should consider this before you file a claim.
You can expect our Houston refinery explosion attorney to be upfront with you about the costs associated with your legal representation after we have an initial consultation to review the details of your case. We are always transparent about this, and there is no pressure to work with us if you decide not to after that consultation.
There are additional costs and expenses applicable in many situations. These are the costs the attorney incurs for working with you and preparing for your case. Some examples of these costs include:
These can significantly affect the cost of representing your case in court. Your attorney will provide you with specific information about what costs apply in your situation. In most cases, these are not costs you must pay upfront. Instead, as with your contingency fee, you will pay the cost after your claim is settled. The funds come from the recovery you receive. You will then receive the remaining funds to use as needed. Note that any other party with a stake also plays a role in this process, such as medical providers.
At The Doan Law Firm, we take these matters seriously. We operate on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay us nothing at this time. You only pay us a fee from your settlement. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing.
