Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that your lawyer does not get paid unless you recover monetary compensation by way of a settlement, jury verdict, or favorable arbitration award. 

If you do recover compensation in your case, under most contingency fee agreements, your lawyer will be entitled to a portion of your recovery, depending upon the amount of work that your lawyer has put into the case. For example, if your case settles before filing a lawsuit, your attorney might be entitled to one-third (33 and 1/3 percent) of your settlement proceeds under your agreement with him or her. However, if your lawyer is forced to file a lawsuit to resolve your case, your lawyer might be eligible to recover a forty percent (40%) fee. 

Virtually all personal injury cases, including car accident cases, slip and falls, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and motorcycle accident cases, are handled by attorneys on a contingency fee basis.
