    It’s a sliding scale built on risk and reward.

    They will take the case if they think they can win OR when they only have a chance of winning but the settlement is going to be large.

    25% chance of a $10 million settlement with a big corporation: take the case.

    90% chance of multi hundred thousand dollar insurance payout: take the case.

    Probably they also consider the amount of work. For all we know, both of the above could be just 10-20 hours of work.
