Car Accident Lawyer Fees In Michigan Explained

How much are lawyer fees for a car accident in Michigan?

In Michigan, the most common type of fee arrangement among car accident lawyers is the one-third (1/3) contingency fee and they are prohibited from charging a contingency fee in excess of 1/3 or 33%. The fees are agreed upon by the attorney and the injured survivor of the crash. This also means that an attorney for a crash costs you nothing unless you win your case.

A one-third contingency fee arrangement means: (1) the lawyer only gets compensated if he or she wins by securing a favorable trial verdict or settlement for the crash victim; and (2) the lawyer’s compensation is limited to 33.3% of the verdict or settlement amount.

Generally, a contingency fee for more than “one-third of the amount recovered” will be deemed a “clearly excessive fee” under the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct, resulting in disciplinary action against the attorney who sought to charge it. (MCR 8.121(A) and (B))
