THE DIFFICULT PARTS

FEE STRUCTURE

Many CTP lawyers work on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning they only charge a fee if they successfully secure compensation for you.


Take the time to understand the terms of their costs agreement, including any additional costs or expenses that may be incurred during the claim process. This will avoid any surprises at the end of your claim.

YOUR DECISION

Being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be a traumatic and life changing experience for the injured person and their family.


Selecting the right personal injury lawyer to represent you in your claim is a crucial decision that can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
