No Fee Increase - Even If Your Case Goes to Litigation

Colorado Springs Personal Injury Attorney

When you hire a personal injury lawyer, one of the most important - and often overlooked - details is how attorney fees change if your case goes to litigation. Many accident victims in Colorado Springs don’t realize that some law firms increase their contingency fee once a lawsuit is filed. This means the longer your case goes on, the more you may owe - even though your injuries and situation haven’t changed.

At The Law Firm of Ted Bills, we do things differently.

A Flat 33% Fee - No Matter What Happens

Our fee stays the same. Period.

Whether your case settles quickly or requires litigation, our contingency fee is 33%. It does not increase if a lawsuit is filed, and it does not increase if we have to fight harder for you. You also pay no upfront costs, and there are no out-of-pocket expenses to get started.

This means:

• No surprise fee increases
• No higher percentage if your case goes to court
• No pressure to settle early just to avoid higher fees
• No financial risk to you

We believe injured people shouldn’t be penalized simply because their case requires litigation.

Why Some Law Firms Increase Their Fees

Many personal injury firms structure their contingency fees in tiers. For example:

• 35% if the case settles early
• 40% if a lawsuit is filed
• 45% if the case goes to trial

This can create a situation where clients feel pressured to settle early - not because it’s best for them, but because they want to avoid a higher fee. It can also mean significantly less money in your pocket at the end of your case.

At The Law Firm of Ted Bills, we don’t believe in that approach. We believe your attorney should be fully committed to fighting for the best possible outcome without changing the financial agreement along the way.

You Should Never Be Penalized for Fighting for Fair Compensation

Insurance companies often refuse to offer fair settlements early in a case. When that happens, filing a lawsuit may be necessary to pursue the compensation you deserve. That decision should be based on what’s best for your case - not on whether your attorney’s fee will increase.

Because our fee stays at 33%, we are free to pursue litigation whenever it benefits you. There’s no financial incentive to settle early, and no added cost to you if we need to fight harder.
