How much does it cost to hire a lawyer to represent me in a medical malpractice lawsuit?
Different fee/retainer agreements exist. Many law firms (including ours) offer what is known as a contingency fee agreement. Essentially, this means that the fee is contingent on whether or not you recover monetary damages. If you do not recover, there is no fee. If you do recover monetary damages through settlement or judgment, then you would be agreeing to pay a percentage of whatever you recover as your legal fee. These percentages vary. You need to carefully review the fee agreement before you sign it so that you understand exactly what the fee agreement is you are signing.
