When you hire the KMSC Injury Law Team, you do not pay a retainer or upfront legal fees. We represent injured clients on a no-win, no-fee basis, also known as a contingency fee agreement. This approach allows you to pursue a personal injury claim without taking on additional financial risk at an already difficult time.
A contingency fee means that our legal fees are only paid if we are successful in recovering compensation for you. If your claim is resolved through a settlement or a court award, our fee is calculated as a percentage of the amount recovered. If there is no recovery, you do not pay legal fees.
From your free initial consultation through to the resolution of your claim, our goal is to remove financial uncertainty so you can focus on your health and recovery. You do not pay a retainer, fixed fee, or hourly rate when you hire the KMSC Injury Law Team; legal fees are only paid if compensation is recovered.
How Contingency Fees Work in Alberta Injury Claims
Personal injury claims can take time and require significant legal work, expert evidence, and negotiation with insurance companies. Under a contingency fee arrangement, you are not billed by the hour and you are not asked to fund the legal work as it happens.
Instead, the Injury Law Team assumes the financial risk of moving your claim forward. Our fee is only earned once your claim is finished and compensation has been secured. This structure ensures your legal representation is fully aligned with your outcome and that most of the compensation recovered supports your recovery and future needs.
Contingency fees also allow injured people to access experienced legal representation regardless of their financial situation. Whether you are unable to work, facing medical expenses, or dealing with long-term uncertainty after a serious injury, you can pursue your claim without worrying about legal bills along the way.
Our Contingency Fee Structure for Injury Claims
KMSC Law uses a tiered contingency fee structure, which reflects how far a claim progresses through the legal process. The contingency fee generally ranges from 27.5% to 35%, depending on whether a case resolves early or proceeds through discovery, pre trial steps, mediation, or in the very rare circumstance a trial.
If your claim is resolved earlier in the process, the contingency fee is lower. If litigation is required and the case proceeds to trial, the fee is higher due to the additional time, preparation, and risk involved. Your specific fee arrangement is discussed with you in advance, and you will always understand how fees are calculated before making any decisions about your claim.
Legal Expenses and Disbursements
In addition to legal fees, personal injury claims involve out-of-pocket expenses required to properly prepare and advance a case. These expenses are known as disbursements and may include the cost of medical records, expert reports, court filings, and other necessary litigation expenses.
In many cases, the Injury Law Team covers these disbursements while your claim is ongoing. This allows your case to be prepared properly without requiring you to pay for expert evidence or records upfront. Once your claim is resolved, disbursement costs are typically deducted from the settlement or court award.
By carrying these expenses during the life of the claim, we help ensure that financial pressure does not interfere with building the strongest possible case on your behalf.
