Tampa Personal Injury Attorney Working for You on a Contingency Fee Basis

Dale Appell, P.A. is a Tampa personal injury attorney who is dedicated to fighting for justice. One of the significant ways that Dale Appell achieves justice for the injured, no matter what their financial status, is by working on a contingency fee basis.

A contingency fee means that you pay no fees to Dale Appell, P.A. as your personal injury attorney unless there is a financial recovery in your case. This ensures that everyone has better access to the personal injury justice system, even if the injured person is poor or struggling financially because of medical bills, lost wages, etc. Regardless of whether your injuries came from an auto accident in Clearwater or medical malpractice in St Petersburg, once we agree to take your case, Tampa personal injury attorney Dale Appell will represent you without any upfront fees or retainers.

You may ask, then, how does a personal injury attorney get paid? The answer is attorneys get paid from a percentage of the financial recovery in your case. The percentage lawyers receive may vary significantly depending on the circumstances of your particular case, but generally speaking, a contingency fee is about one-third of the amount of money you recover, and 40% if a lawsuit must be filed on your behalf. Before settling, we attempt to make sure that the settlement will cover all your losses—past, present, and future—even after your legal fees are paid. If it doesn't, you may request that your lawyer file a lawsuit.

From our main office in Tampa, we provide our clients in the greater Tampa Bay area with a long list of benefits, all on a contingency fee basis. As an example, the following benefits are provided at no cost to you until there is a financial recovery in your case:

• Private investigator on staff
• Resources and experience to take your personal injury case to trial, if necessary
• Equipment and expertise for state-of-the-art presentations in the courtroom
• Expert witnesses who can analyze your accident, determine who was at fault, and present their findings to the jury
• Health care providers who will explain your injuries to the jury

Another advantage of the contingency fee plan is that, as your Tampa personal injury attorney, Dale Appell is as interested in a successful financial settlement as you are. By taking no fees upfront, our law firm realizes that we won't be paid until your case comes to a successful conclusion. You also know that, whenever a personal injury attorney is willing to take your case on a contingency fee basis, the attorney must have some confidence that a financial recovery is possible in the case.
