Attorney’s fees can be charged in any number of ways, the most common being a flat fee or a contingency fee. In personal injury cases, contingency fees allow accident victims to secure representation without having to worry about upfront legal costs. Rather, the attorney’s fees will be determined based off of the size of the settlement. The standard personal injury contingency fee can may fall between 30-40 percent of the value of the settlement. This rate can rise even higher if the case goes to court. At Hastings & Hastings, the legal fee never changes, even if the case requires litigation.
