Answer: Yes. Government should cap Legal Contigency Fee to protect plaintiff from huge and outrageous payments from awards granted or won via court cases.

Explanation: Contingency Fees are charges paid by plaintiffs for legal cases won. Huge attorney's contingency fees that can sometimes be up to 40% however deprive plaintiff of the bulks of the awards granted. This is a demotivating case as such

Plaintiffs are denied maximum enjoyment of their hard-earned awards.
