No Upfront Cost
Personal injury attorneys work on contingency — you pay nothing unless you win. The attorney covers investigation and case costs out of pocket.
Fee Varies by State
Standard rates range from 33% to 40% depending on case complexity and whether your case goes to trial. Some states regulate maximum fees by law.
Higher Recovery
Studies consistently show injured people represented by attorneys recover significantly more than those who negotiate alone, even after the contingency fee.
