How much will it cost me to pursue a brain injury case?

If you have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an accident, you likely realize that treating this type of injury can be costly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the total cost of TBIs in the United States was more than $76 billion in a single year. Fortunately for many TBI victims, it is possible to recover for the losses associated with a brain injury by filing a legal claim in civil court.

Though recovery may be available, you may be hesitant to pursue a legal case because you are concerned about the cost of doing so. The good news is that almost anyone can afford to seek recovery for brain injury-related losses.

What Is a Contingency Fee Agreement?

While many attorneys may charge extensive hourly fees for their services, at The Casper Firm, we handle our brain injury cases on a contingency fee basis. In this type of arrangement, the following is true:

Consultations are free — If you believe you may have a legal claim, it is important to discuss your situation with an experienced attorney who can evaluate whether you have the right to recovery under Maryland law. At The Casper Firm, consultations and case evaluations are always free, whether or not you decide to pursue a claim. There is no obligation to use our legal services, so there is no harm in exploring the possibility of recovery in a free consultation.

We cover your legal expenses — If you do have the right to compensation and decide to proceed with a claim, brain injury litigation comes with expenses. These expenses include:

Court filing fees;
Costs of investigating the accident and gathering evidence;
Fees for the analysis and/or testimony of accident reconstruction experts, medical experts, economic experts, and more; and
Costs of the discovery process.

Under a contingency fee arrangement, however, our office will cover all of the expenses of your brain injury case up front so that you do not have to cover these costs.

We do not collect from you unless you win your case — Even though we provide services at no hourly fees and cover your litigation expenses, we will not collect any fees or expense reimbursement from you unless we are successful in obtaining financial compensation for you. If you are able to recover, a percentage of your recovery that we previously have agreed upon will go toward our services and you keep the rest.
