Frequently Asked Questions

For many straightforward cases, yes. The math works like this: because accident lawyers take 33% off the top, they have to increase your insurance offer by 50% just for you to break even. So a $10,000 offer with a lawyer taking a $3,333 fee puts less in the pocket of an injured consumer than a $6,500 settlement with no lawyer, for instance. With Mighty, you keep 100% of the settlement. We focus on the actual money that hits your bank account rather than just the total settlement number.

If the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we will connect you with a vetted lawyer for a free second opinion. We’ll help you find a lawyer to guarantee they only get paid if they can improve your offer. If an lawyer isn't willing to make that guarantee, it’s a signal that your current insurance offer may already be fair.

Mighty is a technology company, not a law firm. Mighty's free AI helps you build a claim file, submit it to the insurance company, and get a settlement offer. From there, you can settle through Mighty and keep 100%, or have lawyers from our network bid on whether they can win you more.

Mighty doesn't charge you anything, even when you use Mighty’s AI to settle directly with insurance. The only time we make money is if you hire a lawyer from our network. In those cases, that lawyer may pay us a lead generation fee. The fee comes from the lawyer, not from you, and you'll never pay more than you would have otherwise.

Lead-gen services sell contact information and typically require your team to run intake from scratch. Mighty Counsel is a law firm, and every potential client in our pipeline has been through Mighty's AI intake system and has actively chosen to seek representation. They also often require a commitment and minimum monthly spend. We require neither.

Today, only car accident cases are shared through the Marketplace where you submit your fee and the client chooses which firm to connect to. Other case types, like slip & fall, products liability, medical malpractice, etc. are sent directly to firms in our network based on best fit for the client's needs.

Yes, for many cases. Many cases are simple and straightforward, even if it doesn’t feel that way when the accident happens. For these cases, Mighty can build your case file, communicate with insurance, negotiate a settlement for you to approve, and get you paid. But Mighty will always give you the option to hire a lawyer, and will even get competing bids from different lawyers.

Nothing. There is no application fee, no commitment and no charge to receive and review cases from the network. Mighty Counsel is compensated only when your firm settles a case that we referred to you.

Yes. Mighty comes with no obligation. If you want to hire a lawyer, you can always do that.

Mighty Counsel earns a referral fee, paid as a 33% split (excluding FL and LA) of the handling attorney's contingency fee, consistent with standard industry referral arrangements.

Yes. Lawyer's usually take 33-40% of your settlement. If you already have an offer with Mighty, we'll supply contractual language you can use to make sure the lawyer only gets a fee if they improve on your offer.

Because we guarantee our clients that they'll pay less than the industry-standard 33%, all signed client retainers must not exceed 32.5% (pre-lit). If you offer a pre-lit fee of 33% or higher and the client selects your firm, we'll require you sign the client at 32% and we'll reduce our referral fee proportionally so that your firm receives the same net dollar amount as the original fee you proposed.

If you've contacted a lawyer but haven't hired one, Mighty's marketplace can show you what other vetted lawyers would bid to take your case. That gives you something to compare.

Reviewing a case package takes minutes, not an intake cycle. Every case includes the key facts attorneys need to make a fast decision. If a case isn't a fit, you'll know quickly. If you submit a proposal and aren't selected, you've spent a few minutes — far less than a cold intake call. Over time, you'll see your proposal history and acceptance rate, so the channel becomes predictable.

Yes. Mighty gives you transparent, data-backed information to help you understand your claim. You stay in control at every step.

Some will. We encourage firms to offer the most competitive rate they can, especially given that much of the early intake and case-building work may already be completed through Mighty's AI-driven process. But firms are not competing on price alone. Your proposal also gives you the opportunity to explain your experience, track record, and why your firm is the right fit for the client's case. That said, if your economics require a fee that won't be competitive on a given case, you can simply decline the opportunity. There is never any obligation to participate.

Yes. We're happy to walk you through a redacted sample case file on a short call so you can see exactly what arrives at your inbox.

For these cases, we suggest setting a "Settlement Floor," which is the portion of the client's settlement that is excluded from your contingency fee. For example, if the client has an existing $10k offer, setting a $10k Settlement Floor means your fee applies only to the amount recovered above $10,000.

We connect you directly with the client and provide the full case file — name, contact information, and all documentation we've gathered. From there, you handle the remainder of intake, retainer signing, and representation as you normally would.

Mighty Counsel's referral fee structure mirrors standard attorney referral arrangements, which are permissible in most jurisdictions when properly disclosed. We provide model disclosure language and a retainer rider that satisfies disclosure requirements, and our structure is reviewed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.
