Premises liability law requires property owners and possessors to keep the property in a safe condition and adequately warn visitors about any hazard, such as a weak staircase, slippery floor, or a hole in the ground. Someone harmed on an unsafe premise may be entitled to compensation.
If you are hurt because of a hazard on someone’s property, consulting a Rathdrum premises liability lawyer can determine if you have a case. If you do, he or she can form your lawsuit and assess the amount of compensation for medical expenses, loss of wages and other damages. If the hazard and lack of warning were egregious, punitive damages might apply.
In legal practice, experience matters. An experienced attorney will likely have handled issues similar to yours many, many times. Therefore, after listening to your situation, the attorney should have a reasonable idea of the time line for a case like yours and the likely resolution.
An attorney consultation should provide you with enough information so that you can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with legal help.
Bill by the hour: Many attorneys bill by the hour. How much an attorney bills you per hour will vary based on a number of factors. For instance, an attorney’s hourly fee may fluctuate based on whether that hour is spent representing you in court or doing research on your case. Attorneys in one practice area may bill you more than attorneys in a different practice area.
Contingent fee: Some lawyers will accept payment via contingent fee. In this arrangement, the lawyer receives a percentage of the total monetary recovery if you win your lawsuit. In sum, the lawyer only gets paid if you win. Contingent fee agreements are limited to specific practice areas in civil law.
Flat fee: For “routine” legal work where the attorney generally knows the amount of time and resources necessary to complete the task, he/she may be willing to bill you a flat fee for services performed.
