One of the most common concerns people have after a car crash is: “Can I even afford a lawyer?”
The good news is—you can. At SK Walker Law, LLC, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront, and you don’t owe us a dime unless we win your case.
Let’s break down what that really means.
💼 What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee means your lawyer’s payment is contingent on the outcome of your case. If you win—through a settlement or a court verdict—your attorney receives a percentage of that recovery. If you don’t win, you owe nothing for legal fees.
This structure allows anyone—regardless of income—to access quality legal representation after a crash.
💰 What Percentage Do Lawyers Take After a Car Crash?
While the exact percentage can vary, most personal injury lawyers charge:
33% (one-third) of the settlement or award if the case settles before filing a lawsuit
33-40% or more if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal
At SK Walker Law, we’re transparent about our fee structure from day one. You’ll know exactly what to expect—no surprises, no hidden fees.
📋 What About Case Costs After a Car Crash?
In addition to attorney fees, there are case-related expenses such as:
Medical record retrieval
Expert witness fees
Court filing fees
Deposition and transcript costs
These are typically advanced by the law firm and reimbursed from your settlement—not out of your pocket.
🧾 No Win, No Fee: What That Really Means
If we don’t recover money for you, you don’t pay us. Period.That’s the “no win, no fee” promise. It aligns our interests with yours—we only succeed when you do.
