Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: Lawyer fees

If the car accident occurred in California and your husband signed a contingency fee, attorney fees come out of the gross settlement. The attorney should explain all of this to your husband and you.

Here's a link from our website that may help.

Re: Lawyer fees

If your husband hired the lawyer on an hourly basis then he has to pay the bills, regardless of the outcome. If he hired the lawyer on a contingency basis then her fee will come out of the settlement or judgment. How other costs are to be paid will depend upon the terms of the lawyer's contract.
