Understanding Contingency Fees in Nevada

Most personal injury attorneys in Nevada work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs. The attorney only gets paid if you win your case or receive a settlement. The standard rate is 33 – 40% of the total recovery.

In addition to the contingency fee, you may be responsible for case costs such as court filing fees ($250 – $400), deposition costs ($500 – $1,800), and expert witness fees ($3,500 – $10,000). Many attorneys advance these costs and deduct them from your settlement.
