What kinds of expenses are involved in my case, aside from lawyer fees? And do I have to put up the money?

The expenses are advanced on the case by the law firm and reimbursed from the settlement funds.

The first thing that costs money in the handling of a case is the investigation. Investigators are used to take statements from witnesses, photograph the scene of the accident, the damage to the vehicles, and to locate other important evidence. There are also fees for the reports obtained from police departments, fire departments, and other investigative bodies.

Next, hospitals and physicians' offices charge for copies of their medical records and bills. Experts, such as physicians, life-care planners, accident reconstruction, safety engineers, biomechanical engineers, economists, or others, may be necessary to prove the issues in your case. Expert charges are frequently the most expensive part of litigation, with hourly rates varying from $150 per hour to $1,000 per hour. In each case the expenses are managed very carefully to accomplish the dual goals of proving all issues in the case and not spending more than necessary to do so. The law firm is reimbursed for the expenses of the case from the funds that are recovered for the client.
