Most attorneys take a 331/3 % contingency fee on most personal injury cases in WA. The exception is a medical malpractice case where most attorneys take 40%. Some attorneys also increase their fee if a lawsuit is filed and/or the case goes to trial. The contingency fee is on the gross settlement or judgment. Costs are the obligation of the client and are not included in the attorney fee.
