What happened to 1/3 plus expenses? I suppose it could end up being 40% but what I stated is Industry standard.
Personally I would represent my self for anything beyond basic replacement that your Insurance company should handle.
Around here 1/3 and 40% if case goes to court & you win a judgement. You go after the moron who was speeding ( unless the accident was on Tx Hwy 130, 85 limit) for every dime he has or ever will have.
My son the attorney likes to remind folks that anyone representing thier self in court has a fool for a client :S He is strictly a counselor for a major corp advising on policy's/procedures that keep them out of legal problems.
