How Much Are Lawyer Fees For Personal Injury?

How much are lawyer fees for personal injury? A typical personal injury attorney in the state of Louisiana will charge between 1/3 and 40% for representation in a personal injury case like a car accident. An attorney will represent somebody and charge 33% for an accident settlement if there is no lawsuit filed. If a lawsuit is filed, an attorney has to do more work. So typically, the contract calls for the fee being raised to 40%. But the fee may not raise from there even if the attorney goes to trial or appeal.
