The percentage an injury lawyer receives depends on the contingency agreement. In many cases, this will be 33% or 1/3 of the total award.
Some contingency agreements are more favorable for attorneys than for clients They may even including fees and interest. When you choose an injury lawyer, select one who is honest and upfront about all costs and make sure you do not sign any agreements you do not actually agree with.
You do not have to select the first attorney you talk to. You can talk to dozens, hundreds if you’d like, before choosing your personal injury lawyer.
