How are attorney fees handled in personal injury cases?

Worrying that fees will swallow the recovery is common.

Contingency agreements set the percentage in writing up front — commonly around one-third, often higher once litigation begins. Confirm three things in the written agreement: the percentage by stage, who advances case costs and what happens to them if there's no recovery, and that the consultation itself is free.
