Car Accident Lawyer Fees

If you speak with any Torrance car accident lawyer who asks you for a deposit, or retainer, you should run and run fast.

The standard practice for car accident lawyers is to charge a contingency fee.  That means, we do not charge you any money up front and we advance 100% of the case costs throughout the life of your case, even if it takes years to complete.

The only time we ever get paid is if we recover money from the insurance company for you.  Then, and only then, we are paid from a percentage of what we squeeze out of the insurance company for you.

This means that hiring a Torrance auto accident lawyer will not cost you a penny out of pocket, and your financial status will not prevent you from hiring us.  The only requirement to recruiting our help is that you were injured in a car accident.  If you check that box, then we invite you to call us for a free consultation.

Car Accident Liability

Car accident liability refers to proving that the driver who hurt you did something wrong.  That is broken up into two things that you have to prove:

♦   Duty

♦   Breach of Duty

Duty is typically easy to prove in car accident cases – the other driver had to follow the rules of the road, including stop signs, lights, and other well known safety practices like following at a safe distance.

Breach of duty is where the real fight is.  Even if you were rear-ended, the insurance company plays games on admitting to liability.  This is why every car accident lawyer in Torrance agrees that accident victims should not speak with the insurance company without a lawyer present – everything you say can and will be used to deny your claim.

Once liability is proven, then you must prove your damages, which is everything you lost because of the car accident.  Your case value will comprise of the total of your damages; that includes physical injuries, emotional injuries, and property damage losses.

Car Accident Case Values

We have an entire page where we list some of our research on different car accident case values based on injury type.  Hopefully every auto accident lawyer in Torrance that you speak with shares this with you:  100+ facts will determine the value of your car accident case, so it is impossible to figure out your claim’s value without a deep dive into the facts.

Here’s a perfect example.  One of our lawyer’s was representing a man with a soft tissue injury to his back.  If that’s all we knew, lower back soft tissue injury with about $25,000 in medical expenses, many bad lawyers would guesstimate the value of that case.  Our lawyer dug deeper, and found lots of good facts which helped bring the value up, and it settled for $200,000.

Statistically, most car accidents settle for under $25,000.  But that average does not mean anything for the value of your case.  If I make $0 a year, and a basketball player makes $1,000,000 a year, the average is $500,000, so does that mean a third random person in that cohort is making $500,000?  Of course not.  And that is why it’s unfair to you to try to extrapolate the value of your claim based on averages of prior car accident settlements, unless a lawyer has done a fact-match to see how those cases are analogous.

All that said, one universal truth that we have found is that truck accidents get larger results, fairly consistently, than a car accident that involves two cars.
