Experiencing a personal injury can be traumatic and lead to physical pain, emotional distress, and increasing medical expenses. During such difficult times, consulting a skilled personal injury attorney is often essential. However, many individuals are reluctant to seek legal help due to concerns about attorney fees. Therefore, it is important to understand the fee structure of personal injury lawyers.
Contingency Fees: No Win, No Fee
At Burnett Injury Group, our team works on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. What does that mean for you? It means you don't pay any attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation for your injuries.
This arrangement allows you to access legal representation without upfront costs. We bear the financial risk, investing our time and resources into your case with the understanding that we only get paid if we win.
Free Consultations: Understanding Your Options
We offer FREE consultations where we can discuss your situation in detail. During this meeting, you can freely ask any questions and we will be happy to provide the information you need. We will evaluate the facts of your case, explain your legal options, and answer questions about contributory negligence in Maryland. This initial consultation is completely free of charge.
Covering the Costs: We Front the Expenses
Beyond attorney fees, there are other expenses associated with pursuing a personal injury claim. We front all costs related to your case. This can include things like court filing fees, expert witness fees, and other necessary expenses. You only repay these costs if we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor.
Percentage-Based Fees: Transparency in Billing
If we win your case, our fee is a percentage of the financial compensation we recover for you. This percentage is agreed upon upfront, ensuring complete transparency in our billing practices.
What We Handle: Your Maryland Injury Claim
We handle various personal injury cases, including car accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and wrongful death. Whether you were injured in Annapolis, Maryland, or elsewhere, we can help. We've assisted numerous clients in navigating the complexities of Maryland’s legal system to obtain fair compensation for their damages, which can include:

Contributory Negligence: A Key Factor in Maryland
Maryland follows the doctrine of contributory negligence. This means that if you are found to be even partially at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering any compensation. Understanding how this principle applies to your case is critical.
