      • What is a Contingency Fee Agreement?

        A contingency fee means that if we obtain money for you, either via settlement or verdict, we deduct attorney fees and legal costs from the recovery and give you the rest. The percentage may vary depending on the risk involved in the case, which will be part of the contract. If we fail to reach a settlement or verdict in your favor, you do not owe us anything.

        For example, if you were injured in a car accident, you could talk to us about your rights. After the contingency fee contract is agreed upon, we will go to work immediately...

How Do I Prove The Other Driver is at Fault?

Posted on December 27, 2019 by Dudek Law Firm

Car accidents can be traumatic experiences. They can cause serious injuries, property damage and death. When insurance companies get involved, they investigate whether one or both parties were at fault in the accident.

New NHTSA Data Highlights the Importance of Buckling Up

Posted on December 14, 2018 by Dudek Law Firm

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently released traffic fatality data for 2017. The new data shows that car crash fatalities declined by nearly two percent between 2016 and 2017. After two consecutive years of increased fatalities, this is great news. However, NHTSA also notes that seat belt use remained virtually unchanged from 2016 to 2017, actually declining slightly over the year. Out of occupants who were fatally injured in 2017 vehicle crashes, nearly half were unrestrained. According to NHTSA, buckling up could reduce your risk of an injury by 50 to 65 percent depending on vehicle type. Why Should I Wear a Seat Belt?
