Most personal injury lawyers charge a “contingency fee” – typically 33-45% of your settlement. But here’s what many firms don’t tell you: after medical bills and case expenses, you could end up with less than your attorneys. A lot less. But not here.
Why We’re Different
At Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, we believe that’s wrong. When you’re injured, the last thing you should worry about is your lawyer taking the biggest piece of your settlement. Yet, it happens all too often at other firms. At Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, we believe your settlement should benefit you first. That’s why we created the Bigger Share Guarantee®. Our Bigger Share Guarantee® means you’ll always take home more than we do from your settlement. Here’s our promise:
You will always take home more than we do. Period.
Here’s how it works:
- If your share after medical costs, liens, and expenses would be less than our fee, THEN
- We reduce our fee until you get the bigger share. Period.
- No exceptions, no fine print
It’s that simple. We’ve made this guarantee since day one because it’s the right thing to do.
Other firms might be okay taking the lion’s share of your settlement. We’re not. Your recovery should help you rebuild your life – not pad a law firm’s bottom line and leave you wondering what happened.
How Our Fee Structure Works
Let’s break it down with a simple example:
- Settlement amount: $100,000 (full insurance limits available)
- Medical liens: $40,000
- Case expenses: $5,000
- Attorney fee (35%): $35,000
- Your take-home: $20,000
That’s not right. And we won’t let it happen. Under our Bigger Share Guarantee®, in this situation, we would reduce our fee until you get more than we do. And potentially quite a bit more. Our numbers go down and yours go up. Period.
Common Questions About Our Fee Guarantee
Q: Is this just marketing, or is it really a guarantee? A: The Bigger Share Guarantee® is exactly what it says: a guarantee. It’s binding. You get more from a settlement than from us. Period.
Q: Do other law firms do this? A: Not sure. But you should definitely ask. We know that our largest competitors in the market do not do this. If others do, we suspect it would be very few. Most firms stick to standard contingency fees regardless of your take-home amount.
