Personal Injury Contingency Fee Explanation
At Lettuce Law we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or judgment we obtain for you, and it only applies if we are successful in recovering money on your behalf. This fee is taken off the top of the total amount recovered before any other expenses are deducted.
Standard Contingency Fee

- Attorney’s fee: 33.33% (one-third) of the net recovery.

Important Note
- The contingency fee arrangement allows you to pursue your personal injury claim without any financial risk. If we do not secure compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
- Any case expenses or medical liens will be deducted from your two-thirds share after the attorney’s fee has been taken.
- Lettuce Law makes no promises or guarantees regarding the outcome of a particular claim and that any comments made by us regarding potential outcomes are expressions of opinion only.
Costs and Expenses
In addition to the contingency fee, you shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lettuce Law in connection with the Claim, including but not limited to court filing fees, expert witness fees, deposition costs, travel expenses, and copying costs. These costs shall be deducted from the recovery prior to calculating the Attorney’s fee.
