Contingency Fee ArrangementsAt Cook, Bradford & Levy, LLC, we believe that everyone should be able to have a lawyer when they need one, regardless of their ability to pay. A contingency fee arrangement allows our Erie motorcycle accident attorneys to get started on your case right away without payment of any costs or fees up front. The way we get paid is as a percentage (usually 33% if your case does not require filing a law suit) of the gross financial recovery we are able to obtain for you, and if we don't recover anything, you do not owe us any attorney fee whatsoever.
Motorcycle cases are unique in that the insurance company typically tries to point the finger at the motorcyclist as being at least partially at fault for the crash. Our Erie motorcycle accident lawyers are familiar with the insurance companies' tactics, and when needed, we can retain local and national experts to prove that it was the other driver, and not the motorcyclist, who was at fault for the crash. These experts can include accident reconstructionists, human factors experts, and experts in the operation and rules of the road for motorcyclists, for example. Our law firm will pay the costs of retaining any expert we use, including paying for the time to meet with your doctors to fully understand your injuries and future medical needs, and the expenses are typically paid back with a portion of the funds that we are able to recover for you. Because our law firm has the financial strength to carry any costs, our clients do not need to bear the added stress and expense of fronting the costs needed to build their case.
