Question:

How are medical negligence attorneys paid for their service?

Answer:

Medical negligence attorneys are personal injury attorneys.  Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingent fee basis which means they get a percentage of what you get from the negligent medical provider.  The percent an attorney will receive will vary by geographic location and by the attorneys’ years of experience or reputation.  Obviously, that means that your attorney will get part of whatever dollar amount you are awarded.  The good news though is that you have nothing to lose. If you lose your case, you would not owe attorney any fees, so the risk of losing money is very low, if not eliminated altogether.  Most personal injury attorneys offer a free initial consultation so they can determine whether you have a case worth taking.  A good attorney will not take a case he thinks he cannot win because he will lose time and money doing so.  You should get more than one opinion on your case and consider carefully consider the experience you need from your attorney and the percent of money you will pay out of your award.
