How Much Can I Expect An Attorney To Charge To Handle A Medical Malpractice Case?

Most attorneys will take a medical malpractice case on a contingency fee basis. This means they will take a percentage of your recovery in the case, rather than charge you by the hour. The percentage can range from 25% to 40% and is in addition to the attorney`s out of pocket expenses. Please bear in mind that in a medical malpractice case, these expenses can be quite high. Many attorneys will decline a case unless there is potential for a substantial verdict or settlement. There are statutory caps on attorney fees where the recovery is $1,000,000 or more. The court can, however, approve attorney fees beyond these limits in some instances.
