Net = Gross − Attorney Fee − Case Expenses − Liens − Other
Attorney Fee = Gross × Attorney %
Personal injury attorneys typically charge 33% (pre-suit), 40% (after filing), and sometimes 45% at trial. Review your retainer agreement for the exact percentage.
Physical injury settlements are generally not taxable under IRC § 104. Punitive damages, emotional distress (without physical injury), and interest ARE taxable.
If your health insurance or Medicaid paid medical bills related to your injury, they have a right to be reimbursed from your settlement. This is called a lien.
Gross Settlement − Attorney Fees − Case Expenses − Medical Liens − Other Deductions = Net to Client.
