Do I have to pay my personal injury lawyer if I don't recover anything?

In many cases, people who are injured in accidents suddenly become unable to pay their bills.
The medical bills are piling up and they are often unable to work as they had before.
Paying a lawyer, under such circumstances, is not feasible.
For this reason, most personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee basis.

WHAT IS A CONTINGENT FEE?

A contingent fee means that the lawyer's compensation is wholly dependent on whether there is a recovery for you, the person injured in an accident.  
You pay the lawyer nothing unless and until a recovery is made on your behalf.  

If  a recovery is made, the personal injury lawyer is paid a percentage of the total recovery.  
The lawyer will pay costs of litigation, including the costs for filing suit, for experts, and the like and those costs will also typically be reimbursed in addition to the attorney's fee.
