From what we know, most lawyers are taking the full 25% for something called a Success Fee which the government stopped innocent negligence victims from recovering from the opponent in April 2013. Before the changes you could get all your legal fees back and keep all of your payout, which is fair. But the changes have stropped this and flipped the whole system on its head!
