How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in NJ?

Most work on a contingency fee, usually around 33% of what you recover, only if you win.  In New Jersey, contingent legal fees are regulated by New Jersey Court Rule 1:21-7.  If someone is injured as a minor, the percentage fee is 25% unless the case goes to trial. Lawyers do not get paid a legal fee for money paid by your PIP carrier, unless they are required to sue your insurance company to force them to pay your bills.  If that is the case, then the carrier should pay your lawyers’ legal bills to enforce your insurance policy rights.
