This is called a contingent fee agreement, and it means that your lawyer receives a percentage of the money recovered when the lawsuit is finalized. There are many situations that could lead to a personal injury lawsuit, including automobile accidents and slip-and-fall situations. Your Portland personal injury lawyer can help you with this complex process, which often requires interactions with medical providers and insurance agents.
