How much percent should a lawyer get for a job injury case in texas? -

how much should it be?? like 40% for the lawyer amp;amp; 60% for the client?? or what?? im really concerned if we got ripped off...

natg08, I m sorry to hear about your situation. I was hurt once in Oregon when a truck backed over my right foot at work. My company attempted to settle with me quickly because they knew it wasn t my fault. I called a local accident lawyer in my area who provided me excellent advice and I was able to get a justifiable settlement to cover my medical bills that weren t covered by my work insurance. I d suggest you find a lawyer in Texas. http://www.accidentlawyerlocator.com/Tex... My personal injury lawyer was willing to answer any and all questions I had because they hope to make some money at the same time. Try calling a personal injury lawyer to see if they can help. Sorry to hear about your situation.

Depends on how they are charging you. If they set up a fee for you to pay if you lose and another amount if you win then the lawyer can t lose and the fee is much smaller. Usually around 20%. However if they only get paid if you win then they are taking on the risk that they may make nothing and have to charge more to cover the cases they have lost. And in these cases they usually charge between between 30 and 50 percent depending on what they think the chances of losing are. In the second situation the amount of money you get is really irrelevant since you were unable to afford a lawyer to begin with and any money you get from the deal is money you normally would not have gotten since you couldn t afford a lawyer. So in a very real sense, the money you receive is quot;freequot; money. But as long as they are charging you at or below 50% it s probably all good. Of ourse if you have massive proof tat you should win(like a videotape of the other person running a red light and hitting you and yes I know running a red light isn t job injury, it is only a example of proof) then the fee should be on the low end. But without such ironclad proof it will go toward the higher end.

The attorney should receive what is called for in the contract for services. Often, a contingency contract may be 35%, 40%, or more of the collected money after judgment.
