Most personal injury and wrongful death cases in Texas are handled on a contingency fee basis. That means the lawyer’s fee is a percentage of the money recovered through a settlement or verdict. At Cammack Law Firm, our fee is a percentage of the recovery, and if there is no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fee.

Serious cases also involve case expenses, which are different from the attorney’s fee. These can include expert witnesses, accident reconstruction, medical records, depositions, and court costs. In 18-wheeler and industrial cases, expert costs can be significant. [State how expenses are handled, for example: “We advance these expenses, and they are reimbursed from the recovery,” plus whether the client owes expenses if there is no recovery.]

Texas requires contingency fee agreements to be in writing and to explain how the fee is calculated and how expenses are handled. Before you sign anything, you should understand exactly what percentage applies, whether expenses are deducted before or after the fee is calculated, and what happens if the case is not successful. We’ll walk you through all of it before you decide.

Your first consultation is free and confidential, with no obligation. A Houston personal injury lawyer can tell you whether you have a case and what it would take to pursue it, at no cost to you.
