How much do I have to pay for a Personal Injury attorney?
Personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee basis. That means they are paid not by the time they invest in the case but by the ultimate result. Therefore, it is to your advantage to have competent counsel on your side early enough to allow your lawyer time to work up your case and avoid unnecessary fees properly. As a general rule, the personal injury lawyer will receive 35% of the final settlement amount in the case. However, cases that go to trial often incur different costs.
