What percentage do lawyers take for personal injury in Canada?

Personal injury law firms in Toronto typically work under a contingency fee arrangement, better known as “no win, no fee”. Instead of an hourly fee for legal services, we charge a percentage of the settlement or court award. Hence the moniker – if we don’t get you compensation, we don’t get paid legal fees. The percentage may depend on:

  • The complexity of the case
  • Resources expected to be deployed for your case
  • Expert opinions required
  • How litigious the other party is
  • And many other factors

The contingency fee arrangement is a formalized and very transparent process. The full retainer agreement is discussed upfront so there are no surprises for you at the end of the journey. To learn more about contingency fee, talk to our personal injury lawyers in Toronto.
