In Florida, the vast majority of personal injury cases are handled under what's called a contingency fee basis. What that basically means is that when you hire the attorney, there's no fee charged to you. The attorney only gets paid if he or she recovers on your behalf. That's usually a percentage. The percentage can vary depending on the circumstances, but as far as you having to come out of pocket to hire an attorney to handle your personal injury case, that is not going to happen in the vast majority of situations.
