How much does a truck accident lawyer cost?

A person who is the victim of a truck accident may suffer injuries and property damage. The at-fault driver is liable for the costs and compensation for the damages that arise from the accident they caused. Lawsuits can be time-consuming and complex. It is best to obtain an attorney to handle the case. However, the injured party may fear that they do not have the financial capability to hire a lawyer. Some attorneys charge a flat fee to represent a client’s case, while other attorneys charge an hourly rate. The rate can be expensive, with a flat fee of up to thousands of dollars and hourly rates ranging from $100 to $400. Under the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct, attorneys may not set a fee for excessive legal representation.

Some lawyers provide a free initial consultation. Once a person decides to hire an attorney for their truck accident case, they will sign an attorney contract stating what the attorney’s fee is. If an hourly rate representation may outline the rates for the attorney, paralegal, legal assistant and other staff that will be added to the total cost of the legal representation. If the representation is under a contingency fee, the client does not pay out of pocket. Contingency fee representation means the attorney and law firm receive a percentage of the settlement agreement or trial verdict. Legal expenses, such as court filing costs, document production costs, depositions and mediation, may be additional fees the client must pay apart from the contingency amount. The attorneys at MyPhillyLawyer work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless you win.

I would not have been able to achieve the results and reach the settlement that I was awarded without the legal representation of My Philly Lawyer. Thank you Dean and Frank and your entire team.

My Philly Lawyer represented me for an auto accident. The entire process was a pleasure. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. During a normally stressful time, I was put at ease by the entire staff at My Philly Lawyer and I won’t hesitate to have them represent me again.
