Mesothelioma

What percent of a settlement would the lawyer receive in a lawsuit for mesothelioma?

Public Comments

1. usually 33 1/3 percent.
2. That depends on the individual lawyer and the contract that was signed between the lawyer and the person who hired them. It is not uncommon though for lawyers to take upwards of 40% of settlements in general
3. It depends on the lawyer, but it's usually around 30%.
4. you don't mention if it's a class action suit which would bring the numbers down considerably....but answer is 33 1/3/...over all general.....
5. I agree w/ gunning4, 33 1/3.
6. It would depend on what type of litigation is involved. Cancer from asbestos poisoning has long been at the fore of the legal community and has been handled as class action suits and on an individual basis. The usual attorney fee involved is between 33 - 40 % plus any out-of-pocket expenses for the lawyer.
