How much do attorneys charge to help clients in medical malpractice cases?
Medical malpractice cases are typically taken on by a law firm on a contingency basis. That means you won’t pay any legal fees up-front (or at all) unless you are awarded a settlement. The legal fees are an agreed-upon percentage of the settlement, so it is in both your interest and the lawyer’s interest to seek a maximum dollar amount. An experienced lawyer often knows how to obtain significantly higher settlements than if you try to go it alone.
