Q. What do I do if I can’t afford a lawyer?

A. Many law firms will take your personal injury case on a contingency fee basis.  This means that your lawyer will get a percentage of the amount that the lawyer collects for you.  If you don’t get anything, your lawyer won’t get anything either.  However, you are generally responsible for any court costs, filing fees, and witness fees, no matter what the outcome of the case.
