A personal injury claim is a legal action taken against an individual or organization who has caused harm to another person. These claims are typically filed in civil court and seek compensation for physical, emotional, or financial losses resulting from the injury.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. There really is no standard fee. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.
When choosing a personal injury lawyer, it is important to consider the lawyer’s experience, reputation, and track record.
