How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for my injury?

In most cases, when you hire a personal injury lawyer in Texas, you don’t have to pay any upfront fees. Instead, your attorney will work on what is known as a “contingency fee basis.” This means that your attorney will take on your case without any money up front, and then they will collect their fee out of the final settlement or verdict after winning the case.

The amount taken by the attorney depends on whether the case was settled before trial or if it went all the way to court. The percentage that a personal injury attorney will need depends on how the settlement is reached. If the case is settled before a lawsuit is filed, it will be lowest. If the case needs to be settled through a trial, the percentage might be higher.
