Q. Is engaging an attorney expensive?
-
Nowadays the competition by law firms for asbestos/mesothlioma cases is so intense that nearly all are based on a contingency fee contract - which means your attorney will get a percentage of the settlement if you 'win' and nothing if you 'lose'.
The 'no win, no fee' system can be a very attractive option as the time from instructing an attorney to actually getting to court can last from many months to years - a time when your thoughts and resources need to be employed elsewhere.
Additionally, most cases will necessitate the hiring of expert witnesses and significant travel and deposition costs.
Even if a case is settled without trial your attorney will need to recover the costs they have incurred up to that point.
