What's a contingency fee?
In America, we have the freedom to enter into contracts. Large insurance companies enter into contracts with attorneys and experts to defend against paying for damages suffered by an injured person. Injured people rarely have the money to compete with corporate giants so they enter into contingent fee contracts with attorneys to handle claims by promising to pay fees and expenses only if their attorney delivers a cash award or settlement. This contract can open the door to the courthouse for all people who have legitimate claims.
