How much will a good medical malpractice lawyer cost me? I need to sue my doctor for prescribing me the wrong medication and leading me to have serious and irreversible side effects. I don’t know how much it is going to cost though, and I don’t have a lot of money.




Answer:
Generally speaking, most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they get pais only at the successful settlement or verdict of your case.
Attorneys fees depend a great deal on the location where you live and the payment structure you set up with your attorney. While some attorneys charge hourly, and that rate can be hundreds of dollars an hour, many medical malpractice attorneys charge on a contingent fee basis. This means that their payment is a percentage of your settlement or jury award. They do not get paid unless you win. If you are concerned about costs, you may be interested in finding a contingent fee attorney to help you prepare your medical malpractice lawsuit.
Talk to a Medical Malpractice Lawyer to find out if you have a good case and can file a medical malpractice claim for damages and compensation.
Good luck.
