In the vast majority of cases there is no financial risk to the plaintiff until close to settlement or trial when “formal offers to settle” are provided. In the very rare circumstance where we cannot recover anything on your behalf, you become responsible for paying the disbursements (expenses) that have been incurred in running your case. However, in an effort to minimize this possibility, we investigate the matter of fault carefully at the outset of every case.
