Personal injury attorney fees Colorado

In Colorado, personal injury attorneys typically charge contingency fees ranging from 35% to 40% of the recovery, depending on whether the case settles before or after a lawsuit is filed. The standard fee for cases that settle during pre-litigation is usually around 35% (one-third). If a lawsuit is necessary and the case goes into litigation, the fee typically increases to 38%-40% depending on the complexity of the case due to the additional time, resources, and risk involved. Colorado's Rules of Professional Conduct require that all contingency fee agreements be in writing and clearly explain how fees are calculated.
