How much can a lawyer charge for a case concerning a wreck

It really depends on what type of fee agreement you have with the lawyer. If you were the injured party, most attorneys take personal injury cases on a contingency fee. This means the lawyer does not get paid unless he/she is able to secure a settlement on your behalf.  If the attorney does secure a settlement then the fee is generally a percentage of the settlment - most often 1/3 of the settlement. You will want to refer to the representation agreement you signed with the attorney. The representation agreement should contain the fee agreement.
