Car Accident Lawyer Fees in Texas (2025): What You’ll Actually Pay

You’ve been in a car accident, and you’re thinking about calling a lawyer—but there’s one question in your mind: “How much is this going to cost me?”

It’s a fair question—and the good news is, hiring a car accident lawyer might be more affordable than you think. In fact, most personal injury attorneys don’t charge anything upfront.

Let’s break it down.

What Is a Contingency Fee?

Most car accident lawyers in Texas—including The Lange Firm—work on a contingency fee basis. That means:

• You pay nothing upfront

• The lawyer only gets paid if you win your case or reach a settlement

• Their fee is taken as a percentage of what you recover

In other words, if you don’t get paid, neither do we.

What’s the Typical Percentage?

Most contingency fees range from 33% to 40% of your total recovery.

• 33% is common for cases that settle without a lawsuit

• 40% may apply if your case goes to trial or requires heavy litigation

Always read the fee agreement carefully and ask your lawyer to explain anything that isn’t clear.

What’s Included in That Fee?

At The Lange Firm, our fee includes:

• Investigation of the accident

• Communication with insurance companies

• Negotiating settlements

• Legal filings and court documents

• Access to expert witnesses if needed

• Trial preparation and representation, if necessary

We handle everything so you can focus on healing.

Are There Other Costs?

There may be additional case expenses, such as:

• Filing fees

• Medical records retrieval

• Expert witness fees

• Court reporter charges

Some lawyers deduct these from your final settlement. Others might ask you to pay them regardless of the outcome. At The Lange Firm, we only recover these costs if we win.

Example: How Fees Work in Real Life

Let’s say you settle your car accident claim for $90,000:

• Attorney’s fee (33%): $29,700

• Case expenses (let’s say): $1,500

• You receive: $58,800

And remember—you didn’t pay a penny upfront.

Is Hiring a Lawyer Worth It?

Studies show that accident victims who hire a lawyer receive significantly more compensation than those who don’t—even after legal fees.

Insurance companies want you to settle for less. We make sure you get what you truly deserve.

• No upfront fees, no hidden costs

• You don’t pay unless we win

• Transparent contracts and clear communication

• We only represent injured people—never insurance companies

We’re here to make the process fair, stress-free, and worth your time.
