Enter a gross settlement amount to see how much you'd actually take home.
Most Colorado personal injury attorneys work on contingency — 33.33% pre-litigation, increasing to 40% if a lawsuit is filed. You pay nothing upfront. The fee comes out of the settlement.
Filing fees, medical record requests, expert witnesses, deposition transcripts, accident reconstruction — these are actual expenses your attorney advances on your behalf and recoups from the settlement.
If your health insurer, Medicare/Medicaid, or providers placed liens on your settlement, those must be satisfied. Your attorney typically negotiates these down — often saving you 30-50% on lien amounts.
Your health insurer may have a right to be reimbursed for medical bills they paid on your behalf. Colorado law allows attorneys to negotiate these amounts and apply the “made whole” doctrine in certain circumstances.
