How do legal contingency fees work?

You deserve your day in court when you have been seriously injured because of someone else’s negligence. Unfortunately, pursuing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver and other parties is complicated, time-consuming and, above all, expensive. As a result, many accident victims like you simply cannot afford to seek fair compensation at trial.

At Campisi LLP, we strongly believe that all of our clients should have access to justice. Therefore, we accept personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. 

What is a contingency fee? A contingency fee agreement is the contract between you and us. It means that our fees are contingent on the successful resolution of your lawsuit. We do not get paid until after your claim is resolved, and only if you receive compensation at trial or in a negotiated settlement. Since our fees depend on your success, you can rest assured that we will always give your case the time, expertise and attention it deserves.

What are disbursements? Legal fees are not the only expensive element in a personal injury lawsuit. Disbursements, or out-of-pocket expenses, including expert reports from physicians and healthcare providers, accident reconstruction engineers, and economists, and fees for medical records, court filing, and service of documents, can cost tens of thousands of dollars. These disbursements pay for the evidence necessary to prove your case. As part of our contingency fee contract with you, we agree to fund all disbursements necessary for your lawsuit on your behalf until your claim is resolved.

To help protect your interests, effective July 1, 2021, our governing body, the Law Society of Ontario (“LSO”) introduced a Standard Form Contingency Fee Agreement, along with new rules for these agreements. A copy of the LSO Standard Form Contingency Fee Agreement can be found here: https://lso.ca/about-lso/initiatives/contingency-fee-reforms. If, prior to retaining Campisi LLP, you have questions about the fee structure or questions raised by the LSO’s guidance, please email us at info@campisilaw.ca or call us at 416-203-1115 and we’d be happy to answer your questions.

Some key features of our Contingency Fee Agreement

The amount you will pay us for the legal services we provide to you, up to and including trial (if necessary), is calculated as a percentage of the total amount you are awarded at trial or are offered as a final settlement of your claims. As well, at trial, and often during settlement negotiations, the defendants will pay for your damages and an additional contribution towards your legal costs. Any costs provided by the defendants will be used to offset our fees.

 

Generally, our contingency fee for personal injury matters is 30% of your settlement amount or award at trial, plus HST. However, our fee might be lower than 30%, depending on the specific circumstances of your case.

 

Example:

Assume your lawsuit settles for $100,000. The defendant agrees to provide costs of $15,000. At the time of settlement, we have paid $10,000 in disbursements on your behalf. The defendant agrees to pay $10,000 towards disbursements, for a total settlement of $125,000, in exchange for a full and final release and dismissal of the claim.

 

    1. Our fee is calculated at 30% of $115,000 for a total of $34,500.
    2. The HST on the fee of $34,500 is $4,485 for a total fee of $38,985.
    3. The disbursements of $10,000 are also payable to us as we paid for them on your behalf throughout your case.
    4. Therefore, you receive $76,015
