Contingency Fee
What is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee is a method of paying your attorney in a personal injury case only if you receive monetary compensation through a settlement or winning the case in court.
The fee is “contingent” upon winning the case and is an agreed-upon percentage of the recovery amount. The typical contingency fee is around 33% of the recovery.
The exact percentage depends on factors such as the complexity and risk involved in the case and who pays for litigation costs.
This payment structure is great for injured victims because they don’t have to pay their attorney upfront. Instead, the attorney only gets paid if their client receives compensation for their injuries.
What Happens If You Don’t Win?
Since personal Injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, they only get paid if you win your case.
However, if you lose your case, you may still be responsible for paying your lawyer for their work and any court fees.
It’s important to have an open and honest conversation with your Personal Injury lawyer about their fees and their assessment of your case outcome so that you can be prepared financially.
Before hiring a lawyer, ask about their fees and the expected outcome of your case.
This way, you can make an informed decision and understand what you may be responsible for paying in the event of a loss.
