Personal injury lawyer fees work

In almost every bike injury case, your lawyer will be paid a percentage of your final settlement. Typically, this will be ⅓ of the settlement if no lawsuit is filed, and 40% if a lawsuit is filed.

Your attorney’s fee should always be discussed in advance and confirmed in writing. The document confirming your bike injury lawyer fees is called a contingent fee agreement, and if you are working with an attorney, drafting and signing one of these should happen early on. If it doesn’t, ask about it before proceeding with the case; the law requires that this document exist to avoid any later confusion about legal fees and expenses.

In addition to the percentage of your final settlement, your lawyer may also take a sum from your settlement to cover out-of-pocket expenses associated with working on your case. This includes things like:

• medical record fees
• printing/copying charges
• traffic collision report charges
• 911 recording charges
• travel expenses from visiting the accident scene
• investigator fees

At Bay Area Bicycle Law, we will pay all of these fees up front and then reimburse ourselves from the final settlement cost. These costs are usually minimal, and typically do not amount to more than a few hundred dollars.
