If you have suffered substantial losses in a recent California wildfire, you may not know how to rebuild your life and move on. You may wish to hire a wildfire attorney to represent you as you seek justice and financial compensation, for example, but may hesitate due to concerns regarding cost. Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian is here to put your fears to rest with a contingency-fee payment arrangement.
What Are Contingency Fees?
When a personal injury attorney states that he or she operates on a contingency fee basis, it means that attorney’s fees are contingent, or dependent, upon the attorney winning the case. With this type of fee structure, you will not have to pay your California wildfire litigator anything to handle your claim unless the attorney achieves a financial recovery on your behalf. At Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian, our experienced wildfire attorneys understand the immeasurable losses our clients are often dealing with. We do not wish to add to their financial stress. That is why we only charge a fee for wildfire litigation if we win the case and successfully secure compensation for the client’s losses. No win means no fee.
How Much Is a Contingency Fee Agreement?
If a wildfire lawsuit does result in a settlement or judgment award, our law firm will take its fee directly from the amount won on behalf of the client. We do not charge our clients directly out of pocket. At the conclusion of the wildfire case, we take our fee only as a percentage of the final case result. Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian is unique in that we have perfected the process of maximizing your damages, or financial recovery. Unlike other law firms with enormous advertising budgets, we are committed to giving our clients the most money possible for their wildfire claims. For victims of the recent LA fires, our Eaton wildfire attorneys use the following structure:
Rather than the standard 33 to 40 percent contingency fee charged, we limit our fee to just 25 percent. If your wildfire claim leads to a case outcome of $500,000, for example, and we agree on a contingency fee of 25 percent, we would keep one-fourth of the amount ($125,000) as our fee. The rest would be delivered straight to you to pay for your medical bills, property rebuilds and anything else you need.
Are There Hidden Fees?
With a wildfire litigator from Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian, you will know the exact price of hiring us upfront, before you sign anything. We never charge any last-minute or hidden fees. Our law firm only gets paid from the financial recovery we achieve for you at the end of the day. Our goal is to make you whole again so that you can replace your items and rebuild your home after a harmful wildfire. Our law firm also does not seek a fee on your homeowners or business insurance. We want you to keep 100 percent of your insurance money to use it where it is most needed. We do not take wildfire cases on until we have done our research and know that a utility company or third party caused the fire. Our law firm currently has a 100 percent case success rate.
