A number of California car accident victims hire attorneys every year without knowing how much the average attorney charges. There are a number of factors which may determine how much your attorney fees will be. Knowing this could help you when searching for a lawyer.


The majority of personal injury lawyers charge a fee between 25 and 45 percent. This fee is a percent of your settlement. Car accident lawyers use a number of different factors to determine what percent they should charge you. How far the lawsuit goes, how complicated it is, how much money is invested, how big your recovery is, and if it goes to trial all effect how much of a fee you will be charged.

For accident victims it is important to seek out a free consultation by a reputable law firm. Skilled personal injury lawyers will offer free consultations. The best California personal injury lawyers will offer a no fee guarantee. If they do not win your case you do not have to pay.

I would also like to point out that most law firms charge about the same percent for a case. This means that the best and the worst law firms charge about the same price.

Victims involved in serious car accidents can receive a complimentary book, "The Seven Fatal Mistakes That Can Wreck Your California Personal Injury Claim." This book contains valuable information that every California accident victim should have. The book is valued at $14.99 but offered at no cost to accident victims.
