Some spinal cord injury attorneys will not charge anything for the legal services unless you, as the client, are awarded damages either in a mediation, arbitration or in a court hearing. This can help families and clients that have limited resources to start a legal action.
Most attorneys will provide options for a free consultation either by phone or in person to help both the client and the attorney decide is this is a legal case worth pursuing. The attorney will usually provide information on both the positive and negative aspects of the case at this meeting.
