An elderly visitor on a tourist visa was severely injured in a car accident. Because they did not have a local health card or travel insurance, their hospitalization resulted in high medical bills exceeding one hundred thousand dollars. The hospital continuously pursued the elderly client and their family for payment, adding immense pressure to an already difficult situation.
Upon taking over the case, Yeung and Associates Professional Law Firm immediately negotiated with the hospital. We successfully reached an agreement allowing the medical bills to be paid upon the final settlement of the case, instantly relieving the client of immediate collection pressures. Recently, we successfully resolved the pain and suffering portion of the claim, securing a settlement of over three hundred thousand dollars.
We would like to remind everyone of a critical industry detail. Many personal injury lawyers charge a fee of 30% to 35% or higher based on the total settlement amount. Under that standard, after paying the high medical bills and deducting the legal fees, the lawyer would walk away with more money than the client actually receives. Yes, you read that correctly—the lawyer would make more than the client.
At Yeung and Associates Professional Law Firm, we firmly believe in calculating our fee percentage only after deducting the outstanding medical expenses. In this specific case, our legal fees were nearly half of the industry’s standard total-settlement fee structure.
We have always believed that taking a short-term loss is a long-term gain. While we reduced our profit margins on this case, we effectively protected the client’s best interests. This is exactly why we enjoy the long-standing support and trust of our extensive client community.
We advise everyone to compare options carefully and look closely at the underlying fee logic when choosing a law firm. If you face car accident or personal injury claims challenges, please contact Yeung and Associates Professional Law Firm for a consultation. We are here to fight for your maximum rights.
