Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

There is not an average percentage because of certain factors that change from case to case. For instance, if the case settled pre-suit, then attorney fees are typically 33 1/3%, so the client's net recovery before costs would be 66 2/3%. But the costs advanced by the attorney may be minimal or several thousand dollars, depending on the case. This can have a minimal effect or a drastic one. If the case settled after a lawsuit was filed, then the attorney fees are normally 40%. Costs of litigation are very expensive, so those have to be deducted. Whether the case settled pre-suit or after a lawsuit, it must also be determined whether there are any liens by any health insurance companies or medicare. Finally, are there any doctor liens for unpaid medical treatment that must be paid? Because the amounts vary from case to case, there is no average percentage that a plaintiff nets.

As mention, the average settlement percentage from a premises liability case (slip and fall) will depend on the amount of liens and medical bills that must first be paid out of any money received in settlement.
