Increase Your Profits With Fee Splits

Attorney to Attorney Referrals

When a client brings you an injury or workers’ compensation matter outside your practice area, you need a referral partner you can trust. At 612-Injured Injury & Accident Lawyers, we work with attorneys whose primary focus is elsewhere and who want to be sure their clients are protected.

Many of our referral relationships begin when a lawyer in one practice area encounters a significant case in another. For example, a workers’ compensation attorney with a catastrophic motor vehicle crash, or a family law attorney whose client suffers a serious construction injury. We step in on the injury or work comp side so you can continue to focus on your own practice.

Fee-Splits in Compliance With Minnesota Ethics Rules

Fee-splitting is a straightforward and ethical way to support your client and increase your firm’s profit when the case does not fit your practice. Minnesota Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5(e) allows fee-splitting when certain conditions are met, including written client consent and either a proportional division of work or shared responsibility for the representation.

At 612-Injured Injury & Accident Lawyers, every referral arrangement is documented in a clear written agreement that complies with Minnesota ethics rules. When you refer a client to us, you can expect:

  • A written, compliant, and specific fee-split agreement
  • Professional and respectful communication with you and your client
  • Full transparency about roles, responsibilities, and fee division
  • Decades of combined experience in injury and workers’ compensation cases
  • A steady, long-term referral relationship built on reliability and results

We routinely pay referral fees to attorneys who trust us with out-of-practice-area injury matters. These relationships are built on mutual respect, not volume.

How Our Referral Relationships Work

Our typical referral partner is an attorney or firm with an established practice outside personal injury or workers’ compensation. You want your client to receive strong representation on the injury side while you continue to focus on your core work.

Common situations include:

  • A workers’ compensation attorney whose client also has a third party motor vehicle or premises claim
  • A family law attorney whose client is injured in a serious crash during a divorce or custody matter
  • A business, real estate, or estate planning attorney whose client suffers a catastrophic injury in a construction site incident
  • An attorney of any practice area who is approached with a medical malpractice claim outside their comfort zone

You refer the injury or work comp matter to us. We manage that case and communicate with you as agreed. You maintain your existing relationship with the client and continue to provide services in your own practice area.

Fee-splits can be structured to reflect your level of involvement, as permitted under Rule 1.5(e), with informed written consent from the client.

Injury and Work Comp Cases We Accept

We focus on serious injury and workers’ compensation matters, including:

  • Car and motor vehicle collisions
  • Semi-truck and commercial vehicle crashes
  • Construction and industrial site injuries
  • Medical malpractice and medical negligence
  • Premises liability, slip or trip injuries, and unsafe property conditions
  • Catastrophic injuries and wrongful death
  • Workers’ compensation claims, disputes, and denied claims
  • Traumatic brain, spine, and long-term injury cases

If a case falls outside your core practice or comfort level, we are prepared to step in on the injury or work comp component while you continue your work with the client in your own area.
