Personal injury attorneys generally work on a contingency fee basis, which means that their fees get recovered only after they have managed to obtain a favorable settlement or verdict for their client. Contingency fee plans normally represent a percentage of the money that has been recovered in the case, and these plans are extremely beneficial for victims of personal injuries, because the lawyer gets paid only if he settles the claim favorably, or outright wins the case – otherwise, all legal expenses are borne by the attorney. The Florida Supreme Court establishes the pre-set percentage for law firms; contingency fees typically range between 33-1/3 and 40% (whether pre-suit or litigation) of the total compensation that has been awarded to the client. Before he takes on a case, a reputable personal injury attorney will always explain, fully and clearly, his specific contingency fee percentage to the client, and whether the fee is based on the net or gross amount of the compensation.
