The amount of money a personal injury lawyer gets from a settlement depends on the type of fee arrangement that has been agreed upon between the lawyer and the client. Generally, personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.
