In addition to attorney’s fees, may there be other expenses involved in pursuing a claim?

Yes. To successfully pursue a claim involving traumatic brain injury, the lawyer will generally have to involve a number of experts who charge for their time. Accordingly, neuropsychologists, neurologists, accident reconstructionists, economist, vocational rehabilitation counselors, life-care planners and other professionals may be retained in the pursuit of your case. The cost of these professionals will generally be advanced by the law firm. The law firm will then be reimbursed for these expenses from any recovery obtained on your case. However, you should discuss these costs and other expenses with the attorney because generally these expenses will remain the client’s responsibility.
