If you or someone you know has been injured in the workplace in Ontario, you may be considering filing a lawsuit to seek compensation for your losses. But before doing so, it's important to understand the legal process and the costs associated with it. Here are a few tips to help you save on lawyer fees when filing a workplace injury lawsuit in Ontario.
1. Research and compare legal fees. Before signing on the dotted line with a firm, do some research to compare fees. Legal professionals can vary greatly in their fees and you want to make sure you're getting the best value. Take the time to read reviews and consult with other lawyers to find the best option for your needs.
2. Consider a contingency fee agreement. A contingency fee agreement is an arrangement where the paralegal only gets paid if the case is successful. This can help to significantly reduce your legal fees because you won't have to pay any upfront costs.
3. Negotiate the legal fees. Don't be afraid to negotiate with your legal professional. Ask if they are open to lowering their fees or coming up with an alternate payment plan. Some paralegals may be willing to work with you on a sliding scale or flat rate fee. Noteworthy, Cordaie Paralegal Services offers these options.
4. Use a virtual lawyer. If you're looking to save money on lawyer fees, consider using a virtual lawyer. These services match you with a qualified lawyer who can provide legal advice and assistance online. This can be a great option if you don't need a lot of hands-on assistance and are comfortable managing the legal process on your own.
5. Look for pro bono services. If you can't afford a paralegal, you may be able to find pro bono services. These are free services provided by legal professionals who are willing to help those in need.
By doing your research and taking the time to compare and negotiate fees, you can save money on legal fees for your workplace injury lawsuit in Ontario. Remember to always read the fine print and understand your rights before signing any agreements.

DISBURSEMENTS
The final bill will change as a result.
When you see "plus disbursements" on your legal bill, it's natural to worry. Legal disbursements refer to any expenses incurred by the firm that are related—however tenuously—to your case.
In most cases, lawyers charge separately for filing fees, process server fees, and long-distance tolls. Disbursements are widely accepted in the legal profession as a legitimate expense separate from other billing rates.
Disbursements can be one of the trickiest parts of creating a budget. When you do it right, though, no one will ever know that your final costs were in fact reasonable and necessary. We will do all we can to help you avoid paying high legal fees, even if that means forgoing some of our usual fees.
