The typical personal injury lawyer will charge a contingency fee to handle your case. Some state statutes limit the percentage that a lawyer can take as a contingency fee. Most contingency fees are between 33 and 40% , but you can always try to negotiate a reduced or alternative agreement.
Sample Contingency Fee Agreement. Our lawyers do not accept hourly payment for our services in personal injury cases (which is the only type of case our law firm handles). Our personal injury clients are not charged an hourly or set fee for our services. Instead, all of our clients are on a contingency fee retainer. We charge 33-1/3% of the settlement amount on all cases that we settle before filing a lawsuit and 40% of any money we recover for the client after a lawsuit is filed.
