  • Answers to 7 Questions Accident Victims Must Know - Misconception #1: I have to make a large deposit before my lawyer will accept me as a client. False. Many personal injury lawyers accept most accident cases for a contingency fee. This means we get paid out of the money we recover for you. If you don't win, you pay no legal fees. Most lawyers you retain will not charge a fee until there is a settlement and funds are recovered. MISCONCEPTION #2: I'll have to go to court to get what my case is worth. False. Most injury cases are settled before the case goes to court. Usually, if the insurer sees you and your counsel are prepared to litigate, the insurer will start to make better settlement proposals. If we don't like the first offer, we make a counteroffer. Negotiations may continue until both sides agree on a certain amount.
