Personal Injury Law
None of the organizations in the HelpMeLaw network routinely handle personal injury cases or automobile accident cases.
Many personal injury lawyers will handle these cases on a "contingent fee" basis. This means that you do not pay your lawyer unless you win. The amount you pay is based on your written agreement with your lawyer. Also, your lawyer may ask you to pay out-of-pocket expenses as your case moves along. Many of these lawyers will analyze your case for free, then advise you whether it is worth going forward on a "contingent fee" basis.
Many personal injury lawyers advertise in the Yellow Pages of your phone book. You can also contact the Maine State Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service. They help many people find private lawyers appropriate to their legal problems. One $25 fee will cover up to three referrals, if needed, to attorneys who will not charge for the first half-hour of a consultation.
