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.
In routine personal injury cases, a typical contingency fee is 33 1/3 % of the recovery. Medical malpractice contingency fees are higher because they are much riskier and require the investment of substantial more money and time than the average personal injury case. The lawyer charges his fee on the total amount recovered. Thus, in a case where the lawyer recovers $100,000 for his client, the lawyerâs fee would be $40,000 or 40% of $100,000. This is the lawyerâs fee for his time and effort.
