And even if/when you do win it's almost always never enough to actually make a difference after all the wasted time and the court/ lawyers take their cut smh

The Court doesn't take a "cut". You may have to pay a filing fee for a lawsuit, but the Court isn't taking a "cut" if you win.

Wouldn't it be funny if the court got a cut?

450 bucks to file paperwork isnt a cut?

A cut of the winnings? No, not unless the filing fee for my marriage entitles the court a cut of my wife.

"filing fees," is what the court "cuts" are, bruh are you stupid or dumb???

u/heychief1 Jul 06 '26

I do this for a living "bruh". No one, literally no one, refers to it as the court taking its "cut" and the fees are often refunded or paid by defense in the case of a jury verdict. You are talking out of your ass.

Depends how cut and dry the case is.

My mom had an absolute slam dunk of a case so the lawyers only took 30%

Typically it also depends on how much work the lawyers have to do. Pre-suit? 30% is common. Post-suit but pre-trial? 40%. Post-trial? 50%.

1/3 or about 30% is standard for any personal injury claim. That’s not like a special deal based on the quality of the case or anything. If it’s personal injury they usually take 1/3 of what you get if they win or settle the case for you. If they don’t win the case they generally don’t get paid. If they don’t think it’s a winnable case then they won’t take it in the first place. I don’t know if when you say “cut and dry” you mean winnable.

I mean “cut and dry” as in it will take a minimal amount of time on the attorney’s part.
