FAQ
A retainer agreement is a long-term work-for-hire contract between a company and a client that retains ongoing services from you (as a consulting business) and provides you with a stable amount of payments.
Most personal injury lawsuits take several months to conclude. A case that goes to trial may take more than a year. If the facts don't clearly favor one side, then there's a better chance that the case will go to trial.
Retainer Letters or Agreements In general, a Retainer Letter or Retainer Agreement confirms the terms of engagement of your professional services. It sets out the scope of services to be performed, billing matters and your authority to act. The Rules of Court, Rules 10.5 and 10.6, govern lawyers' Retainer Agreements.
It could take a few months for your personal injury case to resolve, or you could go to trial and receive compensation a year or more after you file your lawsuit. Each case must go through specific steps to reach a settlement or get a court award, and there is no way to determine how long this process could take.
A settlement can take anywhere from a few weeks to over five years to close. Straightforward personal injury cases, like a car accident lawsuit from a rear-end collision, are more likely to resolve quickly. A medical malpractice case is more likely to take several years.
Here's my advice: Pitch only to existing clients or clients you know well. Never pitch a retainer agreement to someone you've never worked with before. Present the retainer as a way to get “front of the line” status. Highlight the benefit of predictable budgeting. Include a small discount (maybe)
