Can I find fee contingent lawyer for animal surgery. Had surgery removing womb and dog was burnt both side of her body.

Consumer attorneys who work for people who have been the victims of the conduct of others are in business, and need to use their time and other resources to make money just as any other business. Those of us who represent consumers realize that most of the time, consumers cannot afford to pay for legal services on an hourly basis. The best balance we have found between the expense of legal representation and guaranteeing ourselves some compensation for our work on behalf of our clients is the financial arrangement called a contingent fee. Usually, the term "contingent fee" actually involves two elements: first, we get paid a fee only if our client's case is successful, and second, we receive a percentage of the compensation that our client recovers. At our firm, we look at the contingent fee as a way that we work with and for our clients, rather than for ourselves. The better the outcome for our clients, the better the outcome for us.  As a result of working on a contingent fee, we evaluate a claim for which we are asked to represent a consumer for the amount of money we anticipate the consumer will receive in compensation, the chances of success, and how much time and costs it will take to be successful in pursuing the claim. If we think that a case is likely to generate a reasonable fee for the amount of time we expect it will take, we will offer to represent that consumer in that claim.  I expect that you will have difficulty in finding an attorney who would take your case on a contingent fee basis. Even if the claim might be easy to prove (I am not able to give you a worthwhile evaluation of your chances of success), the problem for you are the other two elements: the value of your claim is small, and it might take a lot of work to recover the money for you. The size of your anticipated compensation is relatively small., You might be able to recover the cost of the surgery. You might be able to receive the cost of any care for your dog's burns. You will not be able to recover pain and suffering for your dog, and you will not be able to recover your own worry, distress, upset, and time.  You should seriously consider the less expensive and perhaps more personally satisfying process of Small Claims Court. In California, if you have a claim of $7500 or less (if you are an individual and have had no more than two claims of that amount in a year, soon to increase to $10,000 for non-auto accident cases), you can represent yourself in having a judge decide your claim. There are no attorneys involved in representing claimants or defendants in small claims cases. The courts and the California Judicial Council maintain web sites which will guide you in pursuing a small claims case. We hope your dog recovers well from her injuries.  Brian Chase,   BISNAR|CHASE, Personal Injury Attorneys. http://www.BestAttorney.comhttp://www.ProductDefectNews.com 800-956-0123.
