| Your Settlement | Standard Firm (33%) | Kavanagh (20%) | You Keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | You pay $16,500 | You pay $10,000 | $6,500 more |
| $100,000 | You pay $33,000 | You pay $20,000 | $13,000 more |
| $250,000 | You pay $82,500 | You pay $50,000 | $32,500 more |
Most firms charge 33% upfront. If they have to take your case to trial, they charge 40%. We charge 20% no matter what. No fine print. No escalation.
Traditional law firms are expensive to run. Big offices, large staffs, paper-based processes. They charge 33% because they have to.
AI-assisted tools support medical records review, document drafting, and case tracking — with attorney review at every stage. We move faster and operate leaner.
Virtual-first. No downtown office. No oversized support staff. We built from scratch — which means we can price from scratch.
No handoffs to junior staff. One experienced PI attorney personally handles your case from intake to settlement check.
You get 8 years of plaintiff's litigation experience. The savings go to you, not to our overhead.
You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Tell us what happened. We'll evaluate your case at no charge — no obligation.
If we take your case, we handle the investigation, medical records, demand letter, and negotiation. You focus on recovering. Our client app is now on the App Store for iPhone — real-time case status, push notifications, document upload, and 24/7 access, included free when you hire us. The Android version is coming soon to Google Play.
When we settle or win, you receive 80 cents of every dollar we recover — at every stage. Most firms give you 67 cents before trial, and 60 cents if they have to fight. We give you 80 cents no matter what.
Less than 1% of personal injury cases in America reach a jury.
Insurance companies built their entire playbook around that number.
Their strategy is simple: lowball the offer, wait for the attorney to fold. It works — because most attorneys will.
We won't.
A network of treating and expert physicians available to support cases on causation, permanency, and impact. Built proactively, not assembled in a panic.
AI-assisted medical chronology, discovery indexing, depo prep outlines, exhibit organization, and jury research — reviewed and directed by your attorney. Months of prep compressed into weeks.
Our fee doesn't change at trial. We have no financial reason to recommend settlement over a jury verdict. Your interests and ours are aligned at every stage.
"The threat of a jury verdict is the only real check on what insurance companies offer. Most firms have given that up. We're taking it back."
When insurance carriers know your attorney actually tries cases, the negotiation is different from day one. You don't just win at trial. You win more at the table — because they know what happens if they don't move.
Most law firms leave you wondering where your case stands. We give you a real-time window into yours.
See every stage of your case from intake to settlement check. No phone tag. No voicemails.
Accident photos, medical bills, hospital records — submit them the moment you have them, directly from your phone.
Chat with our AI assistant for questions about case status and process steps, any time, day or night. Legal advice comes from your attorney.
Settlement offer received? Signature needed? You get a push notification the moment something happens.
Sign authorizations and agreements instantly. No fax, no printer, no mailing anything.

Your Attorney
I'm Matt Kavanagh, a personal injury attorney licensed in Indiana since 2017. I've personally handled 533 personal injury cases — auto accidents, slip and falls, truck accidents, pedestrian injuries — and I represent injured people nationwide through a co-counsel network of licensed local attorneys in each state. You pay the same flat 20% fee regardless of where your case is filed. The co-counsel placement process typically takes 7-10 days depending on availability.
I started Kavanagh Injury Law because I kept seeing injured clients hand over a third of their recovery to legal fees when the technology exists to do better. The 20% fee isn't a marketing stunt. It's a structural commitment that only works because of how we run our practice.
When you hire us, you're talking to me directly. I review your case, I negotiate with the insurance carrier, I decide whether to file suit. You're not a file number.
Every year, 20% of our gross attorney fees — the firm's share only, excluding co-counsel and referral amounts — goes to charity before taxes. That's not a pledge after the fact; it's a first claim on the gross, built into the books.
20%. That's it. At every stage.
Pre-suit. After filing. Through trial. Through appeal. The fee never increases.
Most personal injury firms charge 33% from the moment you sign. If they have to take your case to trial, that climbs to 40%. At Kavanagh Injury Law, the rate is 20% regardless of what it takes to win your case — and we represent injured people nationwide.
| Your Recovery | Typical Trial Firm (40%) | Kavanagh (20%) | You Keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | You pay $20,000 | You pay $10,000 | $10,000 more |
| $100,000 | You pay $40,000 | You pay $20,000 | $20,000 more |
| $250,000 | You pay $100,000 | You pay $50,000 | $50,000 more |
The firm that isn't afraid to fight for you shouldn't charge you more for doing it.

We use technology to work more efficiently — never to replace attorney judgment.
Kavanagh Injury Law uses AI-assisted tools to support attorney work in several areas: medical record review and chronology drafting, demand letter preparation, discovery document organization, legal research, and client communication support. These tools help us work faster and operate leaner — which is how we can offer a flat 20% fee.
Every AI-assisted output — every draft, every summary, every legal document — is reviewed and supervised by a licensed attorney or a state-licensed co-counsel attorney. AI tools assist and accelerate. They do not make legal judgments, give legal advice, or take action on your case without attorney direction and approval.
Client information is handled in accordance with the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct in each state where your case is handled, including confidentiality obligations under Rule 1.6. Where AI tools process client information, we use enterprise AI through Amazon Web Services under a Business Associate Agreement that prohibits using your information to train AI models, and we share only the minimum necessary.
The Kavanagh Injury Law client app includes an AI assistant for questions about your case status, upcoming steps in the process, and general information. The AI assistant does not provide legal advice. All legal advice and case recommendations come from your attorney.
Kavanagh Injury Law's use of AI tools is consistent with ABA Formal Opinion 512 (2023) on Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools and the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct in each state where we practice, including Rules 1.1 (Competence), 1.4 (Communication), 1.6 (Confidentiality), and 5.3 (Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer Assistance).
