No Legal Fees Until Your Case is Resolved 

At Bollwerk & Associates LLC, our truck accident lawyers will not charge you any upfront fees. We charge our attorney fees on a contingency fee basis. How does this work? When we settle your case or win it at a jury trial, we will take a percentage of your compensation as our fees. Our attorney fees will be deducted from your check so that you do not have to pay our fees out of your own pocket. 

What Happens if Bollwerk & Associates Doesn’t Win Your Case?

Another huge benefit of hiring our truck accident lawyers on a contingency fee basis is that you will not owe us any attorney fees if we don’t reach an out-of-court settlement with the insurance company or win your case at a jury trial. This can give you peace of mind of knowing that you can afford our services no matter the outcome of your claim. You can also feel confident that you’ve retained a legal team that is on your side and will fight hard for the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Our St. Louis Truck Accident Lawyers Are Always Up Front About Additional Fees 

You may have to incur costs to help resolve disputes with the insurance company and strengthen your case. Our truck accident lawyers will explain these additional expenses so you understand how much they cost and why we need to incur them. They may include the following:

  • Expert witness fees. The causes of truck crashes are more complicated than those of other motor vehicle accidents and could include violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules. Our lawyers may need to hire an accident reconstruction expert to determine the cause of yours as well as other experts, such as medical and economic experts, to resolve other issues in your case.
  • Copy fees. You may owe the cost of obtaining copies of the police report and your medical reports that can help our legal team prove the trucker’s negligence in causing your truck accident and the severity of your injuries.
  • Litigation costs. Our legal team will need to file a lawsuit if the insurance company won’t settle your claim fairly or if the statute of limitations to sue will expire soon. Expenses associated with litigating your claim can include court filing fees, motion fees, and deposition costs.
