How much does a lawyer charge for a car accident?

The cost of hiring a lawyer for a car accident in Ontario can vary. The final amount depends on factors like your case's complexity and the lawyer's experience. Most personal injury law firms, including ours, use a contingency fee arrangement. A contingency fee agreement means you pay no legal fees upfront. Your lawyer is only paid a percentage of the final settlement or court award if you win your case. This allows you to access legal representation without worrying about initial costs. If your case is not successful, you do not owe any legal fees.

Other less common fee structures include:

• Hourly Rates: The lawyer charges a set rate for every hour they work on your case.
• Flat Fees: A single, predetermined fee is charged for the entire case, regardless of the time spent.
