After being involved in a car accident, it is important to seek out legal guidance and representation. Accidents are shocking, confusing, and disorienting events that individuals go their entire lives hoping to avoid. But accidents happen. Hastings & Hastings, Arizona’s Premier Discount Accident Lawyers, have been supporting and representing accident victims for over 35 years. Hastings & Hastings has helped thousands of individuals receive the compensation they deserve for experiencing and enduring an accident and the events which follow.
One of the primary concerns facing accident victims is that of finding and hiring a skilled and experienced accident attorney. Hastings & Hastings notes, one of the most important elements involved in choosing an accident attorney should be understanding lawyer’s fees. A lawyer’s fee is what the lawyer charges for handling, investigating, and negotiating a claim. Common types of lawyer fees are hourly rates, flat fees, and contingency fees. Some lawyer may require clients to pay a retainer fee.
Typically, a personal injury attorney will charge a contingency fee. In a contingency fee situation, a lawyer agrees to be paid only if a settlement is reached and money is awarded. The lawyer will be paid a percentage of the total value of the settlement. A lawyer will typically charge 33-40 percent of the value of the settlement in a standard contingency fee personal injury situation. In many situations, the percentage may rise if a lawsuit has to be filed or if the case goes to court.
David Hastings, the founder of Hastings & Hastings, believed that the standard contingency fee was simply too high. He invented Hastings & Hastings’ legendary Discount Accident Fee over 35 years ago. Hastings & Hastings has been saving their client money on accident settlements ever since. David believed that accident victims had already been through enough and that they deserved the bulk of their settlement. What’s more, the Hastings & Hastings Discount Accident Fee never goes up, even if the case has to be taken to court.
