Legal services in US
In the US, personal injury claims are almost always handled directly by contingency-fee attorneys rather than a separate claims-management-company industry like the UK’s — the lawyer only gets paid if you win.
Contingency-fee personal injury attorneys
No win, no fee is the market standard for injury/accident claims
Workers’ compensation claims
State-run schemes, rules vary significantly by state
Employment law claims
Strict, often short, filing deadlines apply
Social Security disability claims
Contingency-fee representation is standard for SSDI appeals
