A settlement figure isn't what lands in your pocket. Attorney fees, case costs, and any outstanding medical lien all come out first — and a handful of states actually cap what a personal injury attorney can charge. Pick a state below for a real net estimate, cited to the relevant law.
Each state page below breaks down what actually comes out of a settlement before you see any of it: the attorney's contingency fee, reimbursable case costs, and any outstanding medical lien — and shows whether your state is one of the few that puts a statutory ceiling on the fee percentage itself. Every legal figure is tied to a cited source — see our methodology for how we verify each one.
Every state page provides an estimate for general guidance only and is not legal advice. Figures are based on cited state statutes and common contingency fee practice, verified per our methodology. Confirm your actual fee agreement and net recovery with a licensed attorney in your state before acting.
