The typical personal injury lawyer will charge a contingency fee to handle your case. Some state statutes limit the percentage that a lawyer can take as a contingency fee. Most contingency fees are between 33 and 40% , but you can always try to negotiate a reduced or alternative agreement.
Under a contingency fee agreement, the attorney is compensated from the proceeds of your case (in other words, the long-term disability benefits you win). The attorney usually gets 25% to 40% of your settlement amount or monthly benefits. If you don't win your case, your attorney does not collect a fee. So for example, in a case where you win $30,000 in past-due benefits, your attorney might charge anywhere from $7,500 to $12,000.
