Title
Two Cheers For Contingent Fees,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
If America is a lawsuit hell, then contingentfee lawyers are often considered its devils. Contingent fees have been called unwarranted and the lawyers who accept them have been denounced as unethical and uncivilized. Furthermore, in the midst of increased filings and escalating awards, it is difficult not to notice that some plaintiffs' lawyers have become very rich. As a result, tort reformers have called for limits on contingent fees and many states have obliged. But limits have been enacted without any evidence that contingent fees were either responsible for the liability crisis or that limiting them would produce benefits. This study, one of the first empirical examinations of contingentfee limits, finds that contingent fees benefit plaintiffs and do not cause higher awards. Furthermore, contingentfee limits are unlikely to reduce lawyers' income very much, since they will simply switch to hourly fees. Since hourly fee lawyers are willing to take more cases to court than contingentfee lawyers, contingentfee limits can increase the number of lowvalue junk suits. Tort reform is an important goal, but limiting the contractual rights of plaintiffs and their lawyers is an unattractive and likely ineffective method of achieving that goal. The AEI's Liability Studies examine aspects of the U.S. civil liability system central to the political debates over liability reform. The goal of the series is to contribute new empirical evidence and promising reform ideas that are commensurate to the seriousness of America's liability problems.
