This is a conversation about this issue:
Usually what percentage of money will a car accident attorney take if they win the case for you?
Answer by Little Princess
If it’s taken on a contingency basis, it’s typically around 1/3.

If you’re the defendant they will take whatever you agreed to pay them per hour. If you’re the plaintiff, you may negotiate an hourly rate or a contingency fee (typically around a third). If it only took a few phone calls, the scrupulous attorney may even waive the contingency and just charge you the straight hourly cost, if it’s much much less than a third.

So, it is important to study up on your lawyer's past to make an informed decision. Some personal injury lawyers are better only in settling cases out of the courtroom. With adequate preparation and skillful negotiation they can get a reasonable out of court settlement for their clients. But such things can turn against you sometimes.
