What is a Contingence Fee?
Many clients have asked us “what is a contingence fee?” Most of the cases that our office handles are based on a contingence fee which is a fee payable only if there is a favorable result. In the law it is generally defined as a fee for an attorney service only if the lawsuit or claim is successful or fairly settled out of court. The fee is generally based on percentage of the client’s recovery. Many lawyers advertise a contingence fee as “No Win No Fee.” This means that if a case is lost then no fee is due from the client. However, if the case is won, the lawyer will be entitled to a fee based on the percentage of the recovery which generally in personal injury cases is thirty-three and one third percent. In workers compensation in Georgia, the fee is generally twenty five percent of the total recovery.

Historically, a contingency fee makes it easier for the general public to pursue their legal claims without having to pay an attorneys hourly rate to pursue a legal matter. Generally, because of the high risk involved, most lawyers only handle contingence fee cases when the attorney feels that a case has good merit.

Contingent attorneys’ fees refers only to those fees charged by attorneys for their legal services. Such fees are not permitted in all types of cases. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client.

Murphy & Associates handles personal injury and workers’ compensation cases in surrounding areas of Georgia. If you have questions regarding your case, please contact a Douglasville Accident Attorney (770) 577-3020. We offer of a free consultation with no obligation.

Each year, nearly 1,700 Georgians die and another 132,000 are injured in car crashes. James Murphy fights for West Georgia residents who are injured in auto accidents. A car crash can be a traumatic event causing serious injuries, broken bones, and lasting scars. Auto accidents also take their toll on your wallet with skyrocketing medical bills, time away from work, and the repair or replacement of your car. If you have been injured because of another driver, James Murphy is here to fight for you.

Unlike whiplash or fractured bones, serious and catastrophic injuries may last throughout the remainder of their victims lifetimes. Whether you suffer from a severe head injury, an amputated limb, or an injury that significantly affects your ability to function, your serious accident or catastrophic injury case will require more care when working toward a settlement to meet your needs. Serious injuries often inhibit brain and motor functions or physical ability in general, and experienced attorney James Murphy will ensure that you are fairly compensated.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 5.3 million Americans need long-term help performing daily activities due to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Affecting ones thinking, language, emotions, and ability to feel, traumatic brain injury can lead to serious diseases. If you or a family member has suffered from traumatic brain injury caused by an accident or another partys negligence, Georgia attorney James Murphy can assist you.

In the United States, about 11,000 individuals per year suffer from spinal cord injuries. Though some sufferers of spinal cord injuries will experience complete (or nearly complete) recovery, others will face more serious and long-lasting effects, including paralysis. At Murphy & Associates, we represent spinal cord injury victims and are dedicated to seeking fair and just compensation for their losses.

Lack of sleep and 18 wheels can be a deadly combination. Trucking companies who force their drivers to spend long hours behind the wheel create dangerous conditions on Georgias highways. Murphy & Associates have earned a reputation for helping West Georgia residents who have been hurt in collisions with big rigs.

Most accidents on the road, including motorcycle accidents, are caused by negligence. Not only are motorcyclists more likely to be involved in accidents than other drivers, but motorcycle accident victims often suffer serious, long-term, or even catastrophic injuries. If you or a family member has been injured in a motorcycle accident, we at Murphy & Associates have experience with this type of claim and have the necessary skills to represent you. Contact us for a free consultation.

Murphy & Associates is experienced in cases of pedestrian collisions, crosswalk accidents, and bicycle accidents. If you have suffered injuries or a loved one has been killed by a negligent automobile or truck driver, you may want to claim compensation for your case. A successful personal injury attorney will prove the serious nature of pedestrian and bicycle accidents, incidents that often result in permanent or catastrophic injury.

When someone dies as a result of another person or entitys negligence, carelessness, or recklessness (intentional or unintentional), a wrongful death claim may be filed. Whether the death occurs because of an automobile accident, workplace injury, or instance of nursing home neglect or medical malpractice, a claim for compensation may be a proper response of family members. If you have lost a loved one due to anothers negligence, Murphy & Associates will consult with you for free regarding your case. We are experienced and well-prepared to seek your fair and just settlement and compensation.

DUI accidents can result in serious consequences. In the United States, an average of one person dies due to a drunk driving accident every thirty minutes (NHTSA 2006). A driver who chooses to operate a vehicle while intoxicated puts other drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians at-risk on the roads. When we have clients who have been injured or lost loved ones in drunk driving accidents, we work to recover maximum compensation for their injuries or losses, medical bills, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, lost wages, and punitive damages. If you have been injured or lost a loved one because of a drunk driver, call us at 770-577-3020 for free answers to your most pressing questions.

Georgias Workers Compensation system can be very complicated and difficult to understand. If youve been hurt at work in Douglasville and need an experienced firm to guide you through the system, youve come to the right place. At Murphy & Associates, we bring over 16 years of experience to every case we handle. This experience helps us get you the speedy and fair recovery you deserve for the injuries you have sustained.

Being injured by the hands of a doctor is an awful experience. At Murphy & Associates we fight for the injured to hold doctors liable for their mistakes. Medical malpractice cases can be complex and require an attorney with courtroom experience who can explain to the jury exactly what your doctor did wrong. We pride ourselves on holding doctors and hospitals responsible for their negligence and win compensation for your medical bills and pain and suffering.

Due to the multi-billion dollar business the nursing home industry has become, some facilities have valued profit-making more than providing proper care for nursing home residents. Elder abuse can lead to falls that cause broken bones, malnutrition and dehydration, injury caused by residents able to wander off their nursing home properties, and even death. If you have witnessed the harmful and sometimes devastating effects of nursing home negligence, Murphy & Associates is experienced and prepared to help you receive maximum compensation.
