 Why do accident attorneys provide a free legal consultation?

Accident attorneys generally take accident cases on a contingency fee. This means that an attorney will charge a percentage of any settlement or recovery obtained. This type of fee is popular throughout New York, and the US generally, since most accident victims don't have the means of paying an attorney an hourly fee. The contingency fee arrangement allow clients to proceed with claims they otherwise would not be able to hire an attorney to prosecute. An attorney takes a percentage of the recovery if there is recovery, and bears the risk if no recovery is obtained. This type of contingency fee arrangement is not common in other areas of law such as real estate, will preparation, matrimonial law, etc.
