Most trial lawyers are willing to handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This indicates that the lawyer will not charge you a charge for his time unless there is a recovery. If a recovery is made, then the attorney's charge is depending on an agreed percentage from the gross amount recovered. The lawyers at BAILEY & MYERS charge contingency fees in accordance with the Florida Supreme Court guidelines, typically 33-1/3% in a case that is settled before the need for a lawsuit arises, and 40% when a lawsuit becomes necessary and is contested. The contingent attorney's charge does not include the costs of pursuing a claim, which may range from just a few hundred dollars to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. These costs are payable separately, and not as a part from the contingent fee. Although many law firms may require you to pay these costs in advance, at BAILEY & MYERS we understand that the consequences of an injury make it difficult, if not impossible, for our clients to advance the costs of a case. In most cases, we pay the costs, and simply ask to be reimbursed at the conclusion of a case when your recovery is received.
