What percentage do lawyers usually charge for insurance claims?

I'm just wondering how much lawyers charge for insurance claims. What percentage of final settlement do they usually take?

1. They usually charge 33% of the claim plus expenses. The expenses will add up to 12% to 17% so they will get 45% to 50% of the total settlement.
2. For any settlement is is usually 33%
3. 1/3+ expenses if they file a law suit - 1/2 + expenses. They get a very large part of your settlement.
4. sometimes it's negotiable depending on the amount of effort required on their part. the more complex the case, the more & they charge. the fit-all answer is one third of the settlement. nut it all depends on the award amount and how much went for medical care for example, in case of an injury.
5. IF they think they have a good chance of winning, and the case is worth enough, it's usually 35% to 40%.
