When you’re recovering from an injury, the last thing you need is the stress of unpredictable legal bills. At our firm, we understand that accident victims in Riverside County are already dealing with medical expenses, lost wages, and uncertainty about the future. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis. It’s the Dani Difference: a straightforward and transparent system that puts your recovery first and makes quality legal help accessible when you need it most.
A contingency fee means you don’t pay anything upfront. Our fee comes from a percentage of your settlement or court award, typically one-third if it settles before a lawsuit is filed. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us any attorney fees. We only get paid when you do. That means our success depends entirely on yours, and we’re motivated to fight hard for the best possible result.
When you hire us on a contingency basis, there are no surprises. One-third of your recovery, under a settlement before we file a lawsuit, goes toward legal fees. That’s it. You won’t get unexpected invoices or monthly bills that change from one week to the next. You’ll always know where you stand.
This predictability offers several real advantages:
We believe in complete transparency. The Dani Difference means you know about every potential cost from day one.
While our attorney’s fee is one-third of your settlement, if we don’t file a lawsuit, some additional costs are typically separate. These may include fees for medical records, expert witnesses, court filings, postage, paper, or investigations. We advance these costs during your case and reimburse them from your settlement later. You’ll always know about these potential expenses ahead of time, so nothing catches you off guard.
*If a lawsuit is filed, the fee becomes 36 percent of the settlement. If a trial is set, it increases to 40 percent. We’ll go over all of this clearly from the start so you know exactly what to expect.
In our community, we’ve seen too many accident victims delay getting legal help because they’re worried about legal costs. Some try to negotiate with insurance companies on their own, often settling for far less than their case is worth. Others simply give up on pursuing compensation altogether.
The contingency fee model removes that barrier. Whether you were injured in a car accident on the 15 or 91, hurt in a slip and fall at a local business, or harmed by a defective product, you can get experienced personal injury legal help right away without draining your savings or going into debt.
At Hanson & Mouri, we believe predictable legal fees are just one part of how we deliver the Dani Difference: compassionate, client-centered representation. We’re here to answer your questions, protect your rights, and help you move forward after an accident has disrupted your life.
