What is the average attorney fee for a successful accident claim? 
What should it NOT be "more than"?  I live in Louisiana and was
recently awarded a large sum after a mediation.  I'm curious to know
how much of it I'm likely to be required to pay the attorney.  I am a
single mom of two and currently poor as a haint, so will someone
please answer this question for the low price of $2.00?  I would be
very grateful.  Thank you very much.

You should have discussed the fee BEFORE you hired the lawyer.  Did
you sign any paperwork with the lawyer?  If so, see if that has your
answer.

In a personal injury case, the fee is generally 33% prior to trial and
40% at time of trial.  But I would tend to agree, that whatever is
contained in your fee agreement that would govern.
