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.
The Contingency Percentage. The percentage that a lawyer can receive in a contingency fee agreement varies from state to state. The percentage typically ranges from 25 to 40 percent, and 33.33 percent (or one-third) is pretty standard.If you have a 33.33% contingency fee arrangement and you recover $90,000 in your car accident case, your attorney will receive $30,000.or example, if you paid $2,000 to the attorney as a retainer and recover $90,000 in a settlement, the attorney will receive $28,000 from the settlement ($30,000-$2,000 = $28,000). Most car accident cases will not involve a flat fee payment for legal services.
