What we score
Practice areas
U.S. compensation firms here are personal injury and mass-claims practices paid on contingency — not workers’ comp insurers, not SSA disability mills, and not claims-adjusting shops.
Auto & trucking
Passenger crashes, commercial vehicles, UM/UIM, and catastrophic highway files.
Medical malpractice
Delayed diagnosis, surgical error, birth injury — screened by physician review where available.
Workplace injury
Third-party construction, industrial explosions, and cases beyond a standard comp claim.
Mass torts & products
Defective products, pharma, and coordinated MDL inventories with real trial capacity.
Straight answers
Questions people actually ask
Is this a lawyer referral service?
No. ClaimIndex does not match you with a firm, does not take a referral fee, and does not receive payment for rank. If you hire anyone listed here, that relationship is solely between you and that firm.
Why are the firm names fictional in this build?
This edition is a working prototype of the ranking product. Real-firm scoring requires verified dockets, bar records, and rights-cleared case results. Swap the dataset in assets/js/data.js when those files are ready — the ranking engine stays the same.
Do higher average settlements mean a better firm for me?
Not by itself. A $1.2M average often means the firm declines smaller files. If your injury is moderate, a high-volume negotiator with a lower average can be the better fit. Use “Best for” tags and the compare tray, not the headline number alone.
What is a typical U.S. contingency fee?
One-third (33%) before a lawsuit is common; 40% after filing is also common. Costs (experts, records, depositions) may come out of your share. Always get the fee agreement in writing, including what happens if co-counsel is added.
Can I use this in California, New York, or Texas advertising?
Not as a paid endorsement. State bar advertising rules are strict. This site is consumer editorial. Firms may not imply State Bar approval or guaranteed results.
