Retention and Fees
At the direction of our client,
Accident Cause Analysis Inc. will arrange for one of the following two
retention methods:
1.
We can work from a
retainer amount and once that amount is depleted, work is stopped until a
new retainer amount with further instructions is received. This practice
assists our clients in keeping informed of case progress and the account; or
2.
We can enter into
a formal contract, either open-ended or for a maximum number of hours, with
payment of our invoices in full within 30 days of receipt of same.
We are happy to set up either
method at our client's request.
