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.
