Pursuing a personal injury lawsuit can involve various expenses, but at Begam Marks & Traulsen, P.A., our Phoenix personal injury attorneys make the process accessible by advancing costs for our clients. Unlike attorneys’ fees, which clients typically pay on a contingency basis only after a settlement or verdict, litigation costs arise during the case and can add up quickly, but our firm’s practice of advancing costs eases this burden. Below, we explain what advancing costs means, how it benefits you, and what to expect when working with our firm.
What Are Litigation Costs?
Litigation costs are expenses charged by third parties during a personal injury lawsuit, separate from attorneys’ fees. These costs are essential for building a strong case and may include:
- Expert witness fees for professionals providing testimony
- Transcript costs for depositions or court hearings
- Filing fees for submitting legal documents to Arizona courts
- Exhibit preparation costs, such as accident reconstructions or medical charts
- Travel expenses for case-related investigations or court appearances
Unlike attorneys’ fees, which are paid only if you receive a settlement or verdict in a contingency fee case, these costs typically must be paid as the litigation progresses. Our firm’s approach to advancing costs ensures these expenses don’t become a barrier to justice.
How Advancing Costs Benefits Our Clients
At Begam Marks & Traulsen, P.A., we understand that litigation costs can be daunting, especially when you’re already facing medical bills or lost income. That’s why, in most cases, our firm advances costs on behalf of our clients. This means we cover upfront expenses like expert fees, court filings, and other necessary costs, allowing you to focus on your recovery rather than worrying about thousands of dollars in expenses as your case develops. By advancing costs, we ensure your case is thoroughly prepared, whether it involves gathering evidence, consulting experts, or filing court documents. This approach makes pursuing a personal injury claim accessible and stress-free, empowering you to seek the compensation you deserve.
