Worried you can't afford a lawyer? Learn how contingency fees let Kentucky injury victims hire top representation with no money down.
No money down, no hourly bills
Personal injury attorneys in Kentucky almost universally work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no upfront retainer and no hourly fees. The attorney's fee is a percentage of the recovery, paid only if and when they win or settle your case. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
Why this matters for access to justice
Contingency fees exist so that an injured person without savings can still afford the same caliber of representation as a large insurance company. It aligns the attorney's interests with yours — they only get paid if you do, so they are motivated to maximize your recovery.
Fees vs. costs
It's worth understanding the difference between the attorney's fee (the percentage) and case costs (filing fees, expert witnesses, medical records, etc.). Most firms advance these costs and recover them from the settlement; a clear fee agreement spells out how this works. Always read and ask about your agreement.
