What is the contingency fee avarage for personal injury in San Diego?
Ben Bingham is a Partner at Benson & Bingham, a full service personal injury, accident and workers' compensation law firm with four locations in Nevada.
The average contingency fee for a personal injury case typically ranges from 33% to 40% of the final settlement or award. However, it's essential to note that the exact percentage can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the attorney's experience, the law firm itself, and other factors. The State Bar of California does not set specific contingency fee percentages, but it does regulate attorney fees and requires that they be reasonable. Attorneys are expected to enter into fee agreements with their clients that outline the contingency fee arrangement and ensure it is fair and reasonable. When hiring a personal injury attorney, it's essential to discuss the fee structure and any additional costs or expenses you may incur during the legal process. Always review and understand the fee agreement before proceeding with legal representation, whether it’s in California or anywhere within the U.S.
