in the state of Alabama how much does a lawyer receive on a Workman's comp suit?

Question

new state laws for workmans comp.

Answer 1

That is determined between the attorney and the client, as a matter of contract. Most attorneys will work on an hourly rate, many will have a flat-fixed rate for standard tasks, and some will work on a contingency basis for a percentage of what you recover.

Contingency rules vary by state, and not all states allow for contingency in worker's comp claims. But the attorney will be able to answer whether contingency is even allowed. If the operation on contingency, the amount and percentage must be reasonable based on the complexity of the case. Generally, anything less than 35% to 40% would be considered reasonable.
