Personal Injury / Auto Accidents
At some point, every person is injured due to the negligence of another person. With luck, these injuries are very minor, do not require professional treatment, and are but a small blip on the radar of life. However, many times, the injury you suffer is significant and requires medical attention, surgery, rehabilitation, causes you to miss work, causes you be unable to work as you did previously, and in the most horrific cases causes permanent disability or even death. It is at these times the services of a knowledgeable, dedicated, and aggressive attorney are needed.
Speak to an experienced personal injury attorney before agreeing to or signing anything from an insurance company.
Insurance companies typically try to settle matters as quickly as possible. They do this because it prevents them from being liable for any other problems caused during your accident that may arise over time. This can leave you left to deal with continuing problems such as pain, lost wages, and medical expenses that would have been paid for if the case was not settled prematurely. A quick insurance settlement is very often in the best interest of the defendant and/or insurance company, not you, the injured party. It is important to have your case reviewed by an attorney who is not only experienced in dealing with insurance adjusters and insurance defense attorneys, but will be patient for you to recover completely before pushing forward toward a settlement of your case.
No Attorney Fees Unless You Recover Money Damages
This attorney fee structure is typically referred to as a Contingent Fee Agreement and it is how Attorney Bucher conducts the majority of matters in this area. The advantage to this fee structure is that large hourly bills that are generated over the course of the proceeding do not become due and owing to you, instead, a portion of your recovery is all the attorney gets. The only expenses for you, the client, includes things like filing fees that go directly to the court, not in the lawyer's pocket. This allows injured persons who would not otherwise be able to maintain an action access to legal counsel to advocate for them. If you don't recover, there is no fee for the attorney services. Simply put, if there is no settlement, the lawyer gets nothing.
Should you desire to investigate an hourly agreement as an alternative to a contingent fee structure, Attorney Bucher would be happy to discuss it with you.
