What Are Contingency Fees & Why Do They Matter In A Motorcycle Accident
Many motorcycle accident victims hesitate to call an attorney because they worry about the cost. We hear it all the time—riders think they can’t afford a lawyer to help them fight for the compensation they deserve.
Good news: You don’t need to pay anything upfront.
Call us at 888-292-5352 (888-CYCLE-LAW). Not only do we offer free consultations for injured motorcyclists, but you won’t owe us a dime unless we win your case or secure a settlement.
What Is A Contingency Fee?
If you’ve been researching motorcycle accident attorneys, you’ve likely seen the term “contingency fee.” But what does it actually mean?
A contingency fee is a payment structure where we only get paid if we win your case. Instead of charging hourly rates or upfront fees, our payment is contingent on securing compensation for you.
If we win, our fee is a percentage of your settlement or court award. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
This means every injured rider has access to quality legal representation—regardless of financial situation. You don’t need to worry about paying out of pocket to fight for the justice you deserve.
Why Contingency Fees Matter
Contingency fees create a win-win situation:
✔ No Upfront Costs – You don’t pay anything to get started.
✔ Equal Access to Justice – You get top-tier legal representation, regardless of wealth or connections.
✔ Stronger Legal Advocacy – The more we recover for you, the better for both of us—so we fight to maximize your compensation.
Unlike insurance companies that try to minimize your payout, we have every incentive to get you the largest possible settlement.
New Jersey’s Contingency Fee Limits
Many states, including New Jersey, set limits on contingency fees for injury cases. Here’s how it works:
- For injured adults: The contingency fee is capped at 33% of your total compensation.
- For injured minors: The cap is 25%.
Example: How Contingency Fees Work
Let’s say you’re in a motorcycle accident, and we win you a $100,000 settlement.
- Case expenses: $10,000
- Net recovery: $90,000
- Attorney’s fee (33%): $30,000
- Your take-home amount: $60,000
Your final settlement amount depends on:
✔ Medical bills
✔ Lost wages
✔ Pain and suffering
✔ Motorcycle repairs
✔ Future medical needs
Since we only get paid when we win, we work tirelessly to build the strongest case possible—gathering evidence, negotiating with insurers, and taking your case to trial if necessary.
