How do contingency fees work for Florida personal injury cases?

Most personal injury lawyers in Florida, including Alpha Law Group, work on a contingency fee, which means no fee unless there is a recovery. Florida Bar rules set maximum percentage schedules for contingency fees in personal injury cases. The percentage typically depends on the size of the recovery and whether the case resolves before or after a lawsuit’s answer is filed. You must receive a written fee agreement and a “Statement of Client’s Rights,” and you generally have three business days to cancel a contingency agreement without obligation. Ask how case costs (like filing fees and records) are handled.
