What Will it Cost Me to Pursue a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

Initial case consultations are always free and our experienced malpractice lawyers work on a contingent fee basis. That means that you pay us nothing unless your case comes to a successful resolution- a settlement or verdict in your favor. Our attorneys’ fees are then based on a percentage of the amount of the final outcome. Chances are if a lawyer is willing to take your case on a contingency fee arrangement, they likely believe you have a good chance of winning your case because if you do not get paid, your lawyer also does not get paid.

We believe that these types of arrangements give everyone fair access to the courts, even if you do not have the money to pay us at the beginning of the case. Instead, when we accept your case, we will create an attorney-client agreement that lays out what percentage of the settlement or verdict we will receive if we successfully resolve your case. If we cannot recover compensation for you, then we do not get paid. This system allows us to focus on helping you and your family get the best possible outcome.

Medical malpractice lawsuits can be very costly to litigate, so it is crucial that you choose a firm that has the resources to spend every dollar necessary to successfully prosecute your case. All the costs of handling your case are covered by our firm–court fees, expert witness fees, depositions, and similar charges. If you receive a successful resolution, those fees are deducted from your recovery. This allows you to focus on getting better instead of worrying about ongoing expenses.

These types of agreements allow you to pursue your medical malpractice lawsuit without any need to have financial resources available up front. If you have a genuine claim, there is nothing that should prevent you from seeking compensation. There is absolutely no risk in pursuing a claim to hold wrongdoers accountable.
