Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid a percentage if they win your case.
The contingency fee percentage a personal injury attorney gets typically ranges between 30 and40 percent (33 percent is most common).
You can always try to negotiate a reduced contingency fee, but there’s no guarantee that an attorney will agree.
Using a contingency fee of 33 percent, here’s an example of how a settlement offer would be paid out: If you receive an offer of $100,000 from the other party’s insurance company, you’ll receive $67,000 and your attorney will receive $33,000.
