Could I be sued for legal fees if I lose personal injury lawsuit?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
There are 2 sets of fees associated with a civil lawsuit: court fees and legal fees. Court fees in New York are listed on the Court Administration web site, nycourts.gov Basically, you will have to pay $210 to start a case, and $125 later to put the case on the active calendar. Legal fees are paid to your attorney. How much and when will you have to pay should be spelled out in your contract with the attorney; the contract (called a retainer agreement) should also spell your obligations in the event if you lose the case. Courts can award one side the fees of the other side's attorney, but it does not happen often. In a personal injury lawsuit, it is very unlikely that the court would make the losing plaintiff pay the defense attorney's fees - unless the claim is completely bogus or the plaintiff's conduct during the case is thoroughly outrageous. If you were injured in a car accident, talk to at least 2-3 attorneys before retaining one of them. Initial consultations are usually free and will give you a fairly clear idea how people professionally trained to deal with this kind of cases evaluate your chances of success. 99.9% of car accident injury cases brought to court are represented on contingency basis, which means that the attorney fronts all costs and does not get paid unless the plaintiff wins. So, if 2-3 personal injury attorneys are ready to take your case on contingency, it means they expect to win it. If, one after another, they say you would have to pay for their services on the hourly basis, it will mean that they estimate your chances of success too low (or the amount that can be won - too small) to justify spending time on your case.

When there are two people with the same attorney but have separate contracts in California, can one person settle while one doesn't?

Answered by attorney Mark Richard West (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Mark West
I hope the attorney explained to you and had you sign a waiver of conflict of interests. An attorney can settle one claim and not the other. It also depends on the insurance company. Sometimes they will not settle with one and not the other because they want to resolve all claims arising out of the same incident at the same time. If the insurance company will settle with one of you and the settling party is satisfied, it is fine to settle and leave the other person to continue on with the claim.

Can I sue the property owner if their tenant did not tell them they had a dog that bit me?

Answered by attorney Vahid Naziri (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at VN Law Group P.C.
Typically, a non owner of a dog can only be responsible if they had notice of the dog's dangerous propensities. Of course, there are circumstances which can make the non owner liable. More information and discovery is needed to make a determination. Please contact our offices for a free consultation.
