Contingency Fees

Sloat Nicholson & Hoover helps Colorado injury victims on a contingency fee basis—no upfront costs, no hourly bills. You pay nothing unless we win your case.

Why Contingency Fees Protect Colorado Injury Victims — And Why Sloat Nicholson & Hoover Uses Them

When someone is seriously injured—or loses a loved one—in Colorado due to someone else’s negligence, the financial and emotional toll can be devastating. Medical expenses, lost wages, funeral costs, and day-to-day living pressures add up fast. At a moment when people are at their most vulnerable, the idea of paying a lawyer by the hour feels impossible. That’s exactly why Sloat Nicholson & Hoover, PC uses contingency fees. We believe every Coloradan deserves powerful legal representation—without worrying about how to afford it. Our contingency-based model ensures that personal injury victims, grieving families, and survivors of catastrophic accidents have equal access to justice, no matter their financial circumstances.

What Is a Contingency Fee?

A contingency fee means there are:

• No upfront attorney fees
• No hourly billing
• No attorney fee unless we win or settle your case

At Sloat Nicholson & Hoover, we only get paid when you get compensated. This model aligns our goals completely with your success.

1. Contingency Fees Remove Financial Barriers for Sloat Nicholson & Hoover Clients

From our offices in Colorado, our firm represents individuals and families facing life-changing injuries and loss. Many come to us after:

• Serious motor vehicle collisions
• Commercial trucking and 18-wheeler crashes
• Fatal accidents caused by negligence
• Slip, trip, and fall injuries
• Unsafe or dangerous property conditions (premises liability)
• Negligent security incidents
• Catastrophic injury events

For these clients, hourly billing is not realistic. Our contingency fee approach ensures that anyone—working families, retirees, students, tourists, and rural residents—can access the legal firepower they need.

2. Sloat Nicholson & Hoover Assumes the Financial Risk—Not You

Complex personal injury and wrongful death cases often require significant investment. Our firm routinely advances the cost of:

• Accident reconstruction
• Medical experts
• Trucking and commercial vehicle experts
• Premises safety professionals
• Depositions and court filings
• Private investigators
• Trial preparation resources

If your case does not result in compensation, you do not owe an attorney fee. This shifts the financial risk entirely away from the client.

3. Our Interests Are Fully Aligned With Yours

Because Sloat Nicholson & Hoover only gets paid when you do, our focus is always on maximizing your recovery. This means:

• We move your case efficiently
• We seek full and fair compensation
• We prepare every case as if it may go to trial
• We invest deeply in building strong liability arguments
• We never settle your case for less than it’s worth just to move on quickly

Your success is our success.

4. Leveling the Playing Field Against Powerful Colorado Defendants

Colorado injury victims often face formidable opponents:

• Commercial trucking companies traveling I-70, I-25, and US-285
• Corporate property owners and management firms
• Apartment complexes and landlords
• Hotel chains, retail stores, and national brands
• Insurance companies known for delay and denial tactics

Sloat Nicholson & Hoover has the resources, experience, and litigation skill to stand toe-to-toe with these defendants. Contingency fees make this possible for everyday Coloradans who would otherwise be outmatched.

5. Honest Case Evaluation and Strategic Representation

Because our firm assumes all financial risk at the outset, we carefully evaluate each case before accepting it. This ensures:

• Strong legal merit
• Clear liability theories
• Solid evidence
• A pathway to maximizing damages

This protects clients from false hope while ensuring that every case we pursue receives the full weight of our firm’s experience and resources.

6. No Surprise Bills. No Hidden Costs. No Hourly Invoices.

Colorado families dealing with injuries or loss should never have to worry about:

• Unexpected legal bills
• Rising hourly fees
• Monthly statements
• Paying out of pocket during recovery

Sloat Nicholson & Hoover’s contingency fee structure eliminates those stressors and provides complete transparency and predictability.

7. Ensuring Access to Justice for Every Colorado Family

Whether your case involves a fatal crash, a catastrophic injury, a slip-and-fall at a business, negligent security, or a commercial trucking disaster, our firm’s structure ensures that justice is accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford hourly rates. This is the foundation of our commitment to Colorado clients.
