You Don’t Pay Attorney’s Fees Unless We Recover Compensation
At Tinoco Law, we believe injured people shouldn’t have to worry about paying a lawyer upfront after a serious accident. That’s why we handle personal injury and truck accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay attorney’s fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you. This approach aligns with the firm’s commitment to direct attorney access, clear guidance, and reducing barriers for injured clients.
What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where your attorney’s fee is a percentage of the compensation recovered in your case.
That means:
- No Upfront Attorney Fees
- No Hourly Billing
- No Retainer Required
- Attorney’s Fees Are Paid Only If Your Case Is Successful
If there is no recovery, you generally do not owe attorney’s fees under a contingency fee agreement. Your attorney will explain any potential case costs or expenses before you move forward.
How Does a Contingency Fee Work?
You hire Tinoco Law after a truck accident.
- We investigate your case, gather evidence, negotiate with the insurance company, and pursue compensation.
- If we recover compensation through a settlement or verdict, the agreed-upon contingency fee is deducted from that recovery.
- You’ll review and sign a written fee agreement before representation begins so you understand exactly how attorney’s fees are handled.
Why Do Personal Injury Lawyers Use Contingency Fees?
A contingency fee allows injured people to pursue justice without worrying about paying legal fees while they’re dealing with medical bills, lost income, and recovery.
It also means your attorney has a shared interest in obtaining the best possible outcome for your case.
Why It Matters After a Truck Accident
Commercial truck accident cases are often more complex than typical car accidents. They may require:
- Investigating Multiple Liable Parties
- Preserving Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Data
- Reviewing Driver Qualification Files
- Analyzing Maintenance and Inspection Records
- Working With Accident Reconstruction Experts
Because these cases can require significant time and resources, a contingency fee allows injured victims to access experienced legal representation without paying those costs upfront.
What Makes Tinoco Law Different?
Many personal injury firms route new clients through intake teams or case managers before they ever speak with an attorney.
At Tinoco Law, you’ll speak directly with an attorney who can answer your questions, explain the legal process, and help you understand your options. The firm’s focus is on complex truck accident cases in Phoenix, offering direct attorney involvement and Spanish-speaking support from the start.
