When You Have Been Injured

When you have been injured due to someone else’s actions, you will likely hear repeatedly from family and friends that you should hire an attorney to go after that person or business. Whether injured in a car accident, because you tripped and fell on someone else’s property, or any other reason, your friends and family may just be right.

If you find yourself in the position of hiring a personal injury lawyer, you are likely wondering how much does one cost? After all, you may have already incurred medical bills for your injuries, missed work because of your accident and the treatment of your injuries, had to rent a car or pay for alternative transportation, and more.

We Cost You Nothing Out of Pocket

While we cannot speak for other firms, Dannheisser Injury Law’s personal injury legal representation has always and will always cost our clients NOTHING out of pocket. Our law firm represents clients on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fees and costs are paid for out of settlement or jury verdict proceeds. We front all costs for your case, including:

  • Court costs and filing fees
  • Expert witnesses
  • Investigatory costs
  • Accident reconstructionists
  • And more

If we are not able to recover money on your behalf, you owe us nothing.

What Are Our Fee Amounts?

Dannheisser Injury Law charges the standard contingency fees for Florida personal injury cases found in Florida’s Rule 4-1.5(f) of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which states:

“Without prior court approval as specified below, any contingent fee that exceeds the following standards are presumed, unless rebutted, to be clearly excessive:
  • Before filing an answer or demand for appointment of arbitrators:
  • 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million
  • 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million
  • After filing an answer or demand for appointment of arbitrators, through entry of judgment:
  • 40% of any recovery up to $1 million
  • 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million
  • If all defendants admit liability at the time of filing their answers and request a trial only on damages:
  • 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million
  • 15% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million
  • An additional 5% of any recovery after institution of any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action is required.

What the Rule Means

Rule 4-1.5(f) of the Rules of Professional Conduct governs the percentage of the recovery Florida personal injury lawyers charge in attorney’s fees. The Rule breaks down the attorney’s fees by:

  • When the recovery is made (Sections a, b, and c above)
  • How much the recovery is for (Subsections 1, 2, and 3 above)
For example:
  • If we resolve your motorcycle accident case for $2,000,000 prior to filing a lawsuit, our attorney’s fee would be $633,333.33, calculated as:
  • First $1 million of recovery (33 1/3%): $333,333.33
  • Second $1 million of recovery (30%): $300,000.00
  • If we settle your case for $2,000,000 while at jury trial, our attorney’s fee would be $700,000.00, calculated as:
  • First $1 million of recovery (40%): $400,000.00
  • Second $1 million of recovery (30%): $300,000.00
