How are attorneys paid in these kinds of cases?
A: Most all personal injury claims are handled on what is known as a "Contingency Fee" basis. That means that you pay no attorney fees unless there is a settlement or verdict in your case. The fee is then taken from the settlement or verdict proceeds. A Contingency Fee of 33 1/3% is standard for vehicle collision cases. The Contingency Fees in medical malpractice and product liability cases are typically 40% to 45%. That is because those cases are extremely expensive to pursue, often difficult to prove and are very vigorously defended.
With any Contingency Fee case the client does remain responsible for file costs that are incurred in pursuing the claim. These typically include things such as the cost of obtaining a copy of your medical records, the accident report, filing fees if a lawsuit is commenced, the cost of depositions taken during the litigation and expert witness fees.
