In Texas, lawyers typically take one-third of a personal injury settlement as their fee. For example, if you settle your case for $100,000, your lawyer would receive $33,333.33 and you would get $66,666.67.
There are some circumstances where a lawyer may take more or less than one-third, but that is the general rule. If your case goes to trial, your lawyer may charge a higher percentage because of the additional work involved.
