How do I find a birth injury lawyer who works on contingency?
Finding the right legal help after a birth injury can feel overwhelming, especially when you are worried about the cost. The good news is that you can hire an experienced birth injury lawyer in Ontario without paying any upfront fees. At Gluckstein Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis to ensure every family has access to justice.
What is a contingency fee arrangement?
A contingency fee agreement means our payment is completely tied to the success of your case. You do not pay us by the hour, and there are no hidden upfront costs to start your claim. We only get paid if we successfully secure a settlement or win your case in court. This allows you to pursue accountability for your child’s injuries without adding financial stress to an already difficult time.

At the conclusion of a successful claim, we will seek to recover the above-mentioned expenses, known as ‘disbursements’, from the insurer. You will be responsible for the portion of expenses that are not recoverable from the insurer. Those expenses will be charged against your settlement or judgment.
If we are unable to recover compensation for you, you will not be charged expenses.
