What is the typical contingency fee percentage for personal injury?

The typical contingency fee percentage for personal injury cases in Colorado is 35-40% for cases that settle before a lawsuit is filed, and 38%-40% depending on the complexity of the case for cases that go into litigation. These percentages are standard across most Colorado personal injury firms. Unlike some states, Colorado does not set a maximum percentage by law, but fees must be "reasonable" under the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct. Some firms may charge higher rates for complex cases or lower rates for straightforward claims—always review your fee agreement carefully before signing.
