Cost to Pursue a Wrongful Death Claim

Answer:

In Wyoming, it’s always a concern when I’m dealing with people that have lost a loved one to wrongful death whether or not they have enough money to handle the case. That’s why our system is so beautiful, because it doesn’t matter how much money you have. If you have this kind of case, we can handle it. If it’s a good case, a case that we want to handle, you can have the best legal representation available in Wyoming and have to pay no money down at all because of something known as a contingency fee contract. Under a contingency fee contract, if we don’t collect anything, you don’t pay us anything.

Now, on top of that, we take the risk of hiring the experts, paying the court reporters for depositions and things like that— all the expenses of the wrongful death case. We handle those costs on your behalf, if we take your case. In the event that we lose the case for some reason or don’t recover anything, you pay us nothing. If we do win, however, you have to pay us a percentage of the case. It’s a beautiful system because it means that you can hire a lawyer like me that would charge hundreds of dollars an hour and still afford me, even though you don’t have any money. It makes you are on an even plane with the big corporations, the big companies that have highly expensive attorneys to defend these kinds of cases. You can have an attorney just as good as theirs, and you can have an attorney that’s had experience on both sides of personal injury cases like me on your side. It’s a good deal. It’s a good situation for a person because it puts you in a position to compete with big insurance companies. If you have other questions, let us know at my office in Cheyenne.
