How much do personal injury lawyers charge?

In Tennessee, personal injury lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis. This means they charge a portion of whatever financial compensation they help their clients to recover. Typically, fees range from 25 to 40%, depending on the amount of work required. This fee percentage increases if the case goes to trial. As an example, if a personal injury lawyer helps their client to recover $100,000 in a settlement or verdict, the lawyer’s fee would generally be 25 to 40% of the amount recovered, or $25,000 to $40,000. It’s important to understand that clients don’t have to pay any fees upfront, and they don’t have to pay anything at all if the case isn’t successful. This means no financial risk to the client. The exact fee can be negotiated between the lawyer and the client, but it is important to be aware of the typical range of fees for personal injury cases. It is also important for the client to be aware of the complexities of the case and the amount of work the lawyer will have to undertake to get the fairest possible outcome for the client.
