Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency. Here's how that arrangement works in Massachusetts.

Home/Blog/Contingency Fees Explained: What It Costs to Hire a Massachusetts Injury Lawyer

A major reason injured people hesitate to call a lawyer is worry about cost. The good news is that nearly all Massachusetts personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis.

Under a contingency arrangement, you pay no attorney's fee upfront. The lawyer's fee is a percentage of the recovery, paid only if they win or settle your case. If there's no recovery, you owe no fee.

Case expenses — filing fees, expert costs, medical records — are typically advanced by the firm and reimbursed from the recovery. The fee percentage and how expenses are handled should be spelled out clearly in a written agreement.

This structure aligns the attorney's interests with yours and makes legal representation accessible regardless of your financial situation. It also means the consultation to evaluate your case is free.
