Like some of the other participants have said, it depends on a variety of factors including: geographical location (different laws for different countries and states), type of case, and more. Also, depending on how profitable the lawyer projects the case, he may decide to lower or increase his stake.

At this point it is all speculation, as none of these variables are fixed across all situations. I highly recommend you speak with a couple of personal injury lawyers in your area to find out the specific details. You can call the Injury Helpline at: 1-866-280-6436 or go to http://www.injuryhelplineattorney.com to find a personal injury lawyer in your area.

Hope that helped!

Really depends on the lawyer and what you agreed upon before hand. Make sure you iron all that out before going into court or retaining a personal injury lawyer.

It is generally 25% off the initial amount. Trying to get 25% from each client can prove to be difficult.

In UK there is often a no win no fee arrangement in which case he can charge what he can get from the losing side. therefore it is not something for you to bother about and in any case the losing side pays reasonable costs which can be disputed via what is known as a taxation hearing (nothing to do with income tax) but lawyers hate them and the disputing side pays for them and both sides regard it a a bl–dy nuisance .
Each action will have an agreement with the lawyer and that will tell you if a percentage arrangement is an option or a fixed fee. It is not as unreasonable as it sounds because each claimant will have differing injuries and differing loss of earnings etc. all of which will have to be agreed or approved.

It works out the same either way.
