There are many reasons why a personal injury lawyer may not take your case. It could be that the lawyer does not specialize in the type of injury you have, or that the lawyer does not feel confident in their ability to win the case. It could also be that the lawyer does not believe that the case is worth pursuing, or that the lawyer does not think they will be able to recover enough money to make it worth their time. Additionally, the lawyer may feel that there is not enough evidence to prove your case.

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%.

If you have been injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced lawyer can help you understand your rights and options, and will work to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries. The at fault party will likely have an entire insurance company working on their side. Shouldn’t you have someone on your side too?

The amount of a personal injury settlement depends on the specifics of the case, such as the severity of the injury, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. It is best to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can review your case and advise you on what a fair settlement amount should be.
