Rideshare Lawsuit: “No Cost / Contingency”

My name is Melissa Reitberg, and I’m an attorney at Meirowitz and Wasserberg. One of the most common questions we get asked when people are considering pursuing legal action in light of an unfortunate sexual assault event is, “What is this going to cost me?”

Typically, attorneys work on these kinds of cases on a contingency basis, which means that they don’t get paid unless you get paid. The amount that the attorney receives is a percentage of the amount recovered in connection with your case.

That percentage is regulated by local rules and local laws, so be sure to check those regulations and talk to your attorney about what this might mean for you.
