Estimating & Workflow

Contingency fee

A fee paid only when the claim or the work succeeds, usually a percentage of what is recovered. Public adjusters commonly work on contingency, and some states cap the amount. The arrangement must be written and disclosed before the work starts so the percentage and its basis are clear.
