Typical Contingency Fee Range

Common contingency fee range
25-40%
Personal injury and similar contingency cases commonly cite this range, though exact rates vary by attorney, case complexity, and jurisdiction. Calculated with the Contingency Fee Calculator.

A contingency arrangement means the fee only applies if the case succeeds, but the percentage itself is negotiable and often shifts based on whether a case settles early or goes to trial. Estimate the actual dollar impact on a settlement with the Contingency Fee Calculator.
