How Injury Basics Makes Money
Updated November 8, 2026
Who pays us
Law firms pay us to receive requests from people in their area. You never pay us anything.
How requests are sent
A request goes to a participating firm based on your state, your area and the type of case. We do not rank or recommend lawyers, and what we publish does not change based on who pays us.
What a lawyer may charge
Injury lawyers usually work on contingency, which means their fee comes out of money they win for you. Case costs are usually taken from the settlement. Ask the firm to explain its agreement before you sign.
