Questions
Common questions.
What does contingency mean?
A contingency fee is based on a share of the recovery. The percentage and terms, including how costs are handled, are set out in the written fee agreement.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Deadlines vary by claim and can be short, sometimes months. Write to us early so we can check yours.
Can I be fired for asking about my pay?
The answer depends on the circumstances. We can review the concern you raised, your employer's response, and the timeline.
