The fee for your attorney is based upon his or her work, time, effort and exper­tise. The attorney's fee also encompasses certain office overhead such as secretarial time, rent, files, and other built-in costs. However, there are also additional out-of­-pocket expenses which are incurred specifically as a result of your case. Some of these expenses include the following: Fees that physicians and hospitals charge for medical reports. Such reports may cost anywhere from a few dollars for simple copies to $100 or more for reports that have to be written or prepared specifically by your physician. Photocopy charges. Insurance companies require significant numbers of copies of  medical bills, medical reports, police reports, witness statements, and lost income information. Your law firm has to pay for these photocopies and you will usually be charged a certain amount for each page of copy. Long distance telephone calls. If long distance telephone calls are required, you will probably have to reimburse your attorney for the actual cost of each call. Costs of photographs. Photographs are extremely important in personal injury cases and if your attorney incurs expense in having photos obtained or enlarged, you will be responsible for such costs. Reports of experts. Reports from experts other than physicians may be required in your case and, if so, you will have to pay the costs that such experts charge for their reports. Litigation costs. If your case has to proceed to suit or litigation, there will be costs incurred as a result of the filing of such a lawsuit.
