Reference no: EM131258742
Suppose a victim suffers $100,000 in harm as the result of an injurer's negligence. However, it will take effort by the attorney to recover damages on behalf of her client, the victim, which means the court's verdict at trial is a function of the effort exercised by the victim's attorney. Suppose the attorney can exercise three levels of effort: high, medium, and low. When the attorney exercises high effort, the opportunity cost to the attorney is $30,000, but the court returns a victim's verdict for $100,000. If the attorney exercises medium effort, the opportunity cost to the attorney is $20,000, and the court returns a victim's verdict in the amount of $85,000. Finally, if the attorney exercises low effort, the opportunity cost to the attorney is $10,000, and the court only returns a victim's verdict in the amount of $40,000.
Suppose the contingency fee is 30%, i.e., the attorney receives 30% of the victim's verdict as her salary, while the victim retains the remaining 70% of the verdict as her award.
