Read the agreement
A contingency arrangement commonly ties the lawyer’s fee to a recovery, but percentages and terms vary. The written agreement controls.
Separate fees and expenses
Ask whether filing fees, records, expert costs, and other expenses are deducted before or after the lawyer’s fee.
Get examples in writing
Ask the firm to show how an example settlement would be divided, including any medical liens or other obligations.
