New Orleans, LA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/10/2015 -- The Law Office of Keith L. Magness, LLC, launched a new public awareness campaign focusing on the importance of attorney contingency fees. With most personal injury attorneys in Louisiana charging fees of anywhere from 33% to 40%, many people in the state could benefit greatly by seeking out lawyers with lower contingency fees. The firm's just-launched public awareness campaign will help inform people in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana about this frequently overlooked issue.

"Many people incorrectly suppose that attorneys charge their clients an industry-standard contingency fee," Keith Magness said, "In fact, that is not true at all. Simply by seeking out a lawyer who demands a lower contingency fee from clients, people in Louisiana can end up with more money in their pockets when all is said and done. That can make it much easier and less stressful to recover from an injury, so we are proud to be able to spread awareness of this important issue."

With an average of around 17 million new light vehicles rolling off production lines and onto the driveways of Americans every year, cars and trucks are a deep-seated part of life in the United States. All told, Americans drive more than 3 trillion miles annually, a figure that has been growing steadily for decades.

All that driving comes with quite a few downsides. One of the most pointed of these is the annual toll exacted by the accidents that inevitably happen, a figure estimated at $1 trillion by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when factors ranging from vehicular damage to personal injuries and the loss of human life are taken into account.

While most accident victims recognize the importance of seeking out legal representation as they negotiate with insurers or consider pursuing legal remedies, far fewer understand the full range of their options. As is detailed at http://www.magnesslaw.com/25-contingency-fee/, the contingency fees attorneys charge are not set in stone.

The new public awareness campaign just commenced by the Law Office of Keith L. Magness will help to highlight this important issue. Compared to most other firms that focus on car accidents, the Law Office of Keith L. Magness charges much lower contingency fees, starting at 25%.

On a typical settlement or judgment of $100,000, that can leave the firm's clients with as much as $10,000 more, compared to working with an attorney who charges a higher 33-40% fee. The Law Office of Keith L. Magness is able to afford this by refraining from expensive television advertising and other cost-compounding activities that bloat the fees other attorneys charge.

At the same time, clients of the Law Office of Keith L. Magness can be assured of receiving the most effective representation possible. Having previously worked for many of the top insurers in the New Orleans area, Magness has an amply demonstrated ability to negotiate the most generous possible settlements for clients and to prevail in the courtroom, when necessary. Clients of the firm pursuing reimbursement for auto accidents never need to front fees or other costs themselves, with the Law Office of Keith L. Magness even paying for investigations, police reports, and other necessities until a settlement is arrived at.

The firm's new public awareness campaign will therefore educate residents of New Orleans and surrounding areas as to how they can better protect their own interests in the aftermath of car accidents and other events that lead to injury. As part of the campaign, Keith Magness will be available to answer questions from members of the press and others looking to learn more about this important issue.
