How do I know if I have a contingency case?

In fighting health insurance companies, we discussed ERISA earlier, and if you are denied by a health insurance company and you are a public employee, a church worker, or you write your own check to the insurance company, you have the ability to sue an insurance company for more than the dollar value of the treatment denied. So if you fall into those categories there is a good chance you will find someone who will take your case on a contingency basis, meaning you don't pay anything unless the lawyer is successful, because that lawyer in those cases has so many more weapons to use against the bad health insurance company trying to get you care. If you get your health insurance from a private employer, there has been a moat put around these health insurance agencies and they basically can keep you from going to court against them. In those cases, usually you are going to have to pay hourly for an attorney to battle those cases because if you spend two years on this case, the most you can ever get back from the robber is the amount of money he stole from you. That person doesn't have to do any jail time, there are no extra benefits financially to be paid.
