Understanding Legal Fees in Slip and Fall Cases

Slip and fall accidents can lead to serious injuries, ranging from sprains and fractures to more severe consequences like head trauma or spinal cord injuries. In many cases, these injuries can result in long-term medical care, lost wages, and significant pain and suffering. When pursuing a legal claim, the costs of hiring an attorney can feel like an added burden. Understanding how legal fees work is an important first step in determining how to secure funding.

In most slip and fall cases, attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means that instead of charging hourly rates, the attorney takes a percentage of the settlement or verdict awarded to you. If you do not win your case, you typically do not owe the attorney any fees. This arrangement allows you to pursue your claim without worrying about upfront costs, but it’s important to understand the terms of the contingency fee agreement.

It’s also important to note that other costs may be involved in your case, such as court filing fees, medical records retrieval, expert witnesses, and investigation costs. While some of these expenses may be covered by your attorney, you should discuss them during your initial consultation to have a clear understanding of what to expect.

- WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING -

In June, my wife and I asked our attorney about giving us a loan against any settlement proceeds from our case. He told us that the state bar does not

permit lawyers to participate in the financing of clients. The offer of settlement was very low so the case needed to be filed in court. I called Fast Funds. Within 24 hours, I had entered into an agreement with them, selling a very small portion of the anticipated proceeds to them in exchange for immediate financing. Now my suit is in court and I don't have to worry about money until it's outcome. Thank god for Fast Funds

B.G.

As a result of the advances you have made to our client, we were able to refuse an extremely low settlement offer and take the case to court. We settled the day of the trial for a very generous sum. Had there been no advances by Fast Funds, our client would have had no choice but to accept the inadequate offer since he was in severe debt due to his inability to work. Thank you for your helpful assistance in providing our client with the ability to persevere.

C.F.

I was involved in an accident which took my left leg. I was forced to live homeless for eleven months. Thanks to the Fast Funds people advancing money. I now live in an apartment,I am walking on a prosthetic and otherwise getting my life back together, even though my attorney has not yet settled my lawsuit. I don't know what I would have done for money because the insurance company has offered nothing so far.

A.R.S.

I was involved in an auto accident which caused me to suffer a herniated disc. Because of this injury, I was forced to miss many months of work. I had no income and no place or person to turn to for money. My attorney told me he was unable to help with any financing and the insurance company was refusing to settle the case. I turned to a company called Fast funds. They immediately reviewed my file and took the financial pressure off by providing me with interim financing. I am now able to wait for as long as it takes for my lawyer to achieve a successful result in my case. Without the financial involvement of Fast Funds, I don't know what I would have done.

K.P.

I wanted to thank you for your sensitivity in helping me cope through a very difficult time in my life. Without your help, I would have been unable to pay my rent , forcing my wife and children to be put on the street. I have not been able to return to work and I was tempted to accept the insurance company's very low offer to settle, even though I knew it was not fair or reasonable. You have given me the ability to withstand the financial pressures. Thanks for your help. I will never forget it

C.S.

I have in the past referred clients to Fast Funds Inc., a non-recourse company. The experience of my clients

and my firm were totally positive. Fast Funds was responsive to the clients financial and emotional needs, provided the necessary emergency money and did not interfere in any manner with my handling of the cases. The clients, without my input, negotiated the advance directly with the company. In each case, they were completely satisfied with the final result of the case, including the amount of profit earned by Fast Funds. Non-recourse funding is clearly a valuable tool to the plaintiff's attorney.

M.J.L.

"I am writing to recommend the valuable assistance of the Fast Funds Inc., a company that provided interim funding to financially needy clients. They help to insure that a case will be brought to a successful resolution. A good case in point is when I was offered $75,000.00 for a seriously injured client. Had she not been able to take advantage of the advance financing offered by Fast Funds, I would have been forced to take the money. As it turned out, because my client now had the financial ability to withstand the pressures of time, I tried the case to a jury and received a verdict of $315,000.00.

M.S.D.

It is my belief that non-recourse companies, such as Fast Funds, the company to whom I refer my needy clients, perform an invaluable service to both the client and the attorney. Simply put, it is common knowledge that one of the tools negotiation utilized by insurance companies is time. Offering

considerably less money than the actual case value to a client in desperate need of funds while the case is pending, gives the insurance companies a tremendous advantage. This advantage is minimized and the playing field is leveled when the client has the ability to obtain funds for a minimal portion of the anticipated proceeds. Many times, with no prospects of income, an injured party will settle the case for whatever offer is made.

Seeking Alternative Funding Options for Legal Fees

Even though many slip and fall victims can secure an attorney through a contingency fee arrangement, some still find it difficult to manage the additional costs of litigation. Fortunately, there are several alternative options for securing funding to cover these legal expenses.

One potential source of funding is personal injury loans, also known as litigation financing. These loans are specifically designed for individuals pursuing personal injury claims and can help cover the costs of legal fees, medical bills, and other expenses. Litigation financing is typically repaid once your case is resolved, either through a settlement or trial verdict. The advantage of this type of funding is that it provides immediate relief without requiring you to pay anything upfront.

Another option is to explore if your attorney can offer payment plans or flexible arrangements. Some law firms are willing to work with clients to establish manageable payment plans for costs that are not covered by the contingency fee arrangement. This can be a helpful solution if you have a strong case but are concerned about covering immediate legal expenses.

Exploring Insurance Coverage for Slip and Fall Claims

For many slip and fall victims, the question of insurance coverage is one of the first concerns. If your injury occurred on someone else’s property, it’s possible that the property owner’s insurance policy may cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages related to the accident. If you are able to file a claim against the insurance policy, this may provide the financial resources needed to cover your legal fees as well.

It is important to speak with your attorney about the insurance options available to you, as they can help you navigate the process of filing a claim and ensure that you are pursuing the correct party for compensation. In some cases, your own homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy may offer coverage, or you may be able to access medical insurance to cover initial treatment costs. Your attorney can help identify the most viable insurance options based on your specific situation.

Government Programs and Assistance

In some cases, slip and fall victims may be eligible for government assistance programs to help cover medical bills and other costs. For example, if your injury is severe enough to prevent you from working, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. These benefits can help replace a portion of your lost income while you recover from your injuries. Additionally, Texas residents who are unable to pay for medical care may be able to apply for Medicaid or other state-based assistance programs.

While these government programs may not directly cover your legal fees, they can help reduce the financial burden of medical treatment and other expenses, giving you more flexibility in how you approach funding your case.

Understanding the Importance of Having the Right Legal Representation

One of the most important factors in securing the necessary funding for your legal fees is having the right attorney by your side.
