Does my lawyer get more than the agreed one third or is that amount all inclusive?
I am a lawyere in CT and practice in this area of the law. What you describe is a contingency fees. the way a contingency fee works in a personal injury case is that the lawyer is paid 1/3 of the total settlement/award. this amount is taken before medical expenses or other costs are deducted from you as you havre to pay the costs under most contingency fee agreements unless stated otherwise. I suggest that you meet with your lawyer and have him explain the agreement to you more specifically.

Are you a lawyer?
