Components of Personal Injury Claim Costs in Kenya
The cost of a personal injury claim in Kenya is generally comprised of two main categories: legal fees and disbursements. Legal fees are the remuneration for the lawyer's services. These can be structured as hourly rates, a fixed fee for specific services, or, most commonly for personal injury, a contingency fee based on a percentage of the recovered damages. Disbursements are the direct costs incurred during the claim process. These include court filing fees, costs for obtaining medical records, expert witness fees (such as for medical reports or accident reconstruction), process serving fees, and other administrative expenses. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators is committed to managing these costs efficiently to maximize your net recovery.
Contingency Fee Arrangements: Our Approach to Your Claim
To make pursuing a personal injury claim in Kenya more accessible, Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators frequently utilizes contingency fee arrangements. With this model, our legal fees are contingent on the successful resolution of your claim, whether through settlement or court judgment. Typically, our fee will be a pre-agreed percentage of the compensation you receive, often ranging from 25% to 33%. This means you pay nothing upfront for our legal services. If your case is unsuccessful, you owe us no legal fees. We believe this approach ensures our interests are fully aligned with yours – achieving the best possible outcome for your claim.
