Do I have to pay an injury lawyer up front?

Short answer

Usually not. Most injury lawyers work on contingency: they’re paid a share of what you recover, and nothing if you don’t. Ask about fees and costs in writing.

Rules differ by state. This is general information, not legal or professional advice.
