No Fee Unless We Win: The Kryder Law Transparency Pledge

After an accident, financial pressure hits fast. Medical bills arrive before you’ve even left the hospital. Paychecks stop. And hiring a personal injury lawyer when you’re already stretched thin can feel impossible. At The Kryder Law Group, LLC, we believe that financial hardship should never stand between you and the legal help you need. That’s the principle behind founding partner Andrew Kryder, Esq.’s No Fee Guarantee and Transparency Pledge.

This post breaks down exactly what that pledge means for you: how fees work, what costs to expect, and what happens the moment you pick up the phone.

Quick Summary

1. You only pay our law firm when we win your case.  No recovery.  No Attorney Fee.  Period.
2. There are no up front costs.  Our firm will pay the costs for you and wait until the end for reimbursement. That means no out of pocket expenses.
3. You will ALWAYS receive some part of your settlement because the attorney fee is a percentage of the recovery. This means there is always a percentage of the settlement remaining for you. What you receive depends on many variables.

Our Transparency Pledge: Three Core Promises

Every case is different. Our commitment is not. These three promises are in place from the very first call.

1. Solo pagas por los resultados

You will never owe an attorney fee unless The Kryder Law Group recovers compensation for you. That’s what a contingency fee means in practice. Our interests are tied directly to your outcome. No recovery? No fee.

2. Sin costes iniciales

The Kryder Law Group will never ask you to pay case costs upfront on your personal injury case unless you choose to. Many clients come to us without the resources to finance a legal case days after an accident—and that’s completely understandable. We invest our own money into your case because we believe in it.

3. Our Fee Will Never Exceed Your Settlement

No matter how a case unfolds, the  fees  will never exceed your settlement amount. You will always get a percentage of the settlement. The Kryder Law Group’s fee is a percentage of what we recover, which is typically between 30% to 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and when it resolves.

Lo que debes saber sobre las tasas y los costes

These are the questions we hear from clients and our goal is to provide you with easy to understand and straightforward answers about fees and costs.

What Is a Contingency Fee, and How Does It Work?

A contingency fee means The Kryder Law Group’s payment depends entirely on winning your case. There is no hourly billing and no retainer to pay upfront. Instead, you agree to pay a set percentage of the final settlement or court verdict. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. This makes it possible to pursue a personal injury claim without any financial risk and ensures injured people receive the representation they need when going up against the insurance companies.

What Costs Are Typically Incurred in a Personal Injury Case?

Building a strong claim requires evidence and gathering it comes with some typical costs. The most common expenses include obtaining police reports and medical records. If a lawsuit moves forward, you may also see court filing fees, deposition costs, and fees for professionals retained to analyze evidence or support your claim in litigation.  If your case can be settled before a lawsuit the costs are typically modest.  Higher costs can occur if a lawsuit is filed.

How Much Will the Costs Actually Be?

Costs vary based on the complexity and stage of your case. The Kryder Law Group tracks this data, so you have realistic benchmarks going in:

• Standard claims cases: average cost of $581.20 (2025 data)
• Litigated cases: average cost of $1,648.06 (2025 data)

These figures reflect real cases. They give you a starting point—not a guarantee—since every case is different. The costs for your case could be lower or higher.

Will I Have a Say in My Own Settlement?

Yes, always. And we put that in writing. The final decision on whether to accept a settlement is yours. Your attorney will walk you through how costs have accumulated, how the numbers break down, and what a proposed offer means for your take-home recovery. You will never be kept in the dark.  We will provide our guidance based on decades of experience, but the final decision on whether to settle or litigate is always yours.

What Can I Expect When I Call The Kryder Law Group?

In our first call we will need to gather information about your case. When you call The Kryder Law Group, a legal professional from our office will pick up, answer your initial questions, and begin the intake process right away. The team is available nights and weekends too because accidents don’t happen on a schedule and neither does your need for answers.

How Does the Free Case Review Process Work?

We can usually determine if you have a case that qualifies for compensation in the initial phone consultation.  If your case qualifies, we will send several documents for your approval.  These documents allow us to work on your behalf.  Within 24 hours of your call, you will be assigned both a dedicated case manager and a licensed attorney. Here is how that structure serves you:

• Your case manager handles the day-to-day logistics—paperwork, updates, scheduling, and coordination—so everything moves forward smoothly.
• Your attorney focuses on legal strategy, handles complex decisions, and is available when the big questions come up.
• Other team members will tackle the  complicated intersection of medical bills and insurance claims and liens.
• Once your case resolves, a team of settlement specialists will coordinate your settlement, negotiate medical bills, and arrange for your settlement check.

The Kryder Law Group’s litigation attorneys are known among clients for being attentive, clear-communicating, and thorough. And this is something you can verify in our client reviews.
