Is there a “standard” contingent fee agreement used by PA injury lawyers?

A: Although some lawyers talk about a “standard” contingent fee agreement, there really is no such thing. The percentage charged by lawyers typically ranges from 33 1/3% to 40% of the gross recovery or settlement. All – or virtually all – lawyers who handle Pennsylvania personal injury cases offer contingent fee agreements. Some lawyers will offer a fee schedule that charges a lower percentage if your case requires less work or if they expect a large recovery for you. In certain cases, Purchase, George & Murphey, P.C. offers what we call “Client Friendly” fee agreements.
