FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. There really is no standard fee. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.
The questions you should ask may vary depending on your claim, but in general, they include the following:
- How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
- What is your success rate in personal injury cases?
- How will my case be handled and what is the estimated timeline?
- What types of damages am I entitled to receive?
- Are there any potential risks or downsides to pursuing a personal injury claim?
- Do you have any references from past clients I can contact?
- How much do you charge for your services, and what payment options are available?
If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand your legal rights, evaluate your case, and provide guidance on how to proceed with a claim. The at fault party will likely have an entire insurance company working on their side. Shouldn’t you have someone on your side too?
A contingency fee is a type of fee arrangement in which a lawyer agrees to take a case on the condition that they will only be paid if they win or settle the case. If the lawyer is successful, they will receive a percentage of the award or settlement as their fee.
The best way to find a personal injury lawyer near you is to search online for local attorneys. You can also ask friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations. Additionally, you can contact your local bar association or state bar association for a list of qualified personal injury lawyers in your area.
