What are the costs involved in pursuing a medical malpractice case?
Many attorneys who litigate medical malpractice cases work on a contingency basis, which means that they will not usually charge the client on an hourly basis, but instead, put up the costs of the case and are paid a percentage of the recovery in the event of a settlement or jury verdict. The costs are then recouped only in the event of a recovery. Thus a complainant may obtain legal representation without having to pay for the costs of a case up front. Pursuing a medical malpractice action is often costly, however, as many medical malpractice attorneys work on a contingency basis, the financial concerns of the costs of a case should not prevent someone from contacting a qualified attorney.
