For damages-based agreements, what is the cap for non-personal injury case types?

• A. 25%
• B. 50%
• C. 10%
• D. 5%

Answer: (B)

Damages-based agreements limit how much a lawyer can charge as a percentage of the damages recovered. For non-personal injury claims, that cap is 50% of the damages recovered. This means, if you win, up to half of the damages you receive could go to the solicitor under the DBA, while the rest stays with you. (For contrast, personal injury cases have a lower cap of 25%.)
