How much does it cost to hire a St. Louis truck accident lawyer?

Our St. Louis Truck Accident Lawyers Represent Clients on a Contingency Fee Basis

If a truck driver caused your truck accident in Missouri or Illinois, you might be worried about how you can afford to pay an attorney when you must also pay expensive medical bills and your living expenses while you are off work recovering from your injuries. You would be making a big mistake if you tried to settle your claim on your own to save on attorney fees.

At Bollwerk & Associates LLC, our experienced St. Louise truck accident lawyers understand the financial stresses you’re going through when you have no income because you cannot work due to your injuries. We make it easy and affordable for you to obtain the quality legal representation you need by charging our attorney fees on a contingency fee basis.

How Our Contingency Fee Representation Helps You

Like most truck accident attorneys, our legal team at Bollwerk & Associates charges our attorney fees on a contingency fee basis. This makes it affordable to hire us because you will owe no upfront costs for our services. Here is how our contingency fee representation benefits you:

Free Initial Consultation

We offer a free initial consultation where our legal team will give you an honest evaluation of whether you have a claim against the truck driver, trucking company, and any other at-fault parties. At your appointment, our lawyers will explain how we will assist you, what you can expect to happen during the settlement process, and how we charge for our services. We’ll also answer all of your questions.

No Legal Fees Until Your Case is Resolved

At Bollwerk & Associates LLC, our truck accident lawyers will not charge you any upfront fees. We charge our attorney fees on a contingency fee basis. How does this work? When we settle your case or win it at a jury trial, we will take a percentage of your compensation as our fees. Our attorney fees will be deducted from your check so that you do not have to pay our fees out of your own pocket.

What Happens if Bollwerk & Associates Doesn’t Win Your Case?

Another huge benefit of hiring our truck accident lawyers on a contingency fee basis is that you will not owe us any attorney fees if we don’t reach an out-of-court settlement with the insurance company or win your case at a jury trial. This can give you peace of mind of knowing that you can afford our services no matter the outcome of your claim. You can also feel confident that you’ve retained a legal team that is on your side and will fight hard for the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Our St. Louis Truck Accident Lawyers Are Always Up Front About Additional Fees

You may have to incur costs to help resolve disputes with the insurance company and strengthen your case. You could owe these expenses whether or not you win your case. Our truck accident lawyers will explain these additional expenses so you understand how much they cost and why we need to incur them. They may include the following:

Expert witness fees. The causes of truck crashes are more complicated than those of other motor vehicle accidents and could include violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules. Our lawyers may need to hire an accident reconstruction expert to determine the cause of yours as well as other experts, such as medical and economic experts, to resolve other issues in your case.
Copy fees. You may owe the cost of obtaining copies of the police report and your medical reports that can help our legal team prove the trucker’s negligence in causing your truck accident and the severity of your injuries.
Litigation costs. Our legal team will need to file a lawsuit if the insurance company won’t settle your claim fairly or if the statute of limitations to sue will expire soon. Expenses associated with litigating your claim can include court filing fees, motion fees, and deposition costs.
