Summary — What is Important to Remember About Contingency Fees in Tort Law

Contingency fees are a legal and valid mechanism in Israel, enabling victims of accidents and negligence cases to file claims without immediate financial risk. The percentage of attorney's fees typically ranges between 20% and 40%, depending on the circumstances of the case and the agreement signed. It is important to remember that the percentage is deducted from the compensation you receive, and that there are additional costs that are also deducted. Before you sign an agreement, make sure you understand all the terms, the percentage, the additional costs, and your rights. If you have questions or concerns, ask your attorney or seek assistance from another attorney.
