Settlement & Negotiation
Contingency Fee
A fee arrangement where the attorney's payment is contingent on winning the case, typically a percentage of the recovery.
In Personal Injury Cases
Many injury matters use contingency agreements, but no universal percentage or cost allocation applies. The signed agreement controls the fee, stage changes, services, costs, and any responsibility if there is no recovery.
