How Do Personal Injury Attorneys Get Paid in Indiana?

Understanding Contingency Fees

Most Indiana personal injury attorneys, including Guenin Law, work on a contingency fee basis.

This means:

• You pay no upfront retainer

• There are no hourly bills

• We only get paid if we recover compensation for you

Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, which is agreed upon in writing before representation begins.

In addition to attorney fees, injury cases sometimes involve litigation expenses, such as:

• Filing fees in Indiana courts

• Deposition transcripts

• Expert witness fees

• Medical record retrieval costs

We explain clearly how those expenses are handled and when they are deducted.

Why contingency fees matter:

After a serious injury, most clients are facing medical bills, lost wages, and financial uncertainty. Indiana law allows injured individuals to seek compensation for those losses, but you should not have to risk financial hardship just to pursue justice.

If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney’s fee.

Before hiring any Indiana injury attorney, ask:

• What percentage do you charge?

• Does the percentage increase if litigation is filed?

• How are expenses handled?

Transparency is essential. At Guenin Law, clarity comes first.
