I have a medical malpractice case. Will an attorney take fees, etc out of the settlement as I can't afford to pay up front?

Sometimes lawyers advance costs in medical malpractice cases. These cases are often expensive since they involve paying medical experts, and are against well-funded doctors and their insurers. Your case needs to be good from both a liability and a damages standpoint to get a lawyer to take it, and it has to be very good for a lawyer to take it and advance the costs.

My firm handles medical malpractice cases. We usually take these cases on a contingency basis, no money out of your pocket unless we recover for you.

This would be a contingency case, meaning no money up front, and the case costs would be advanced by an attorney.

Hope this helps.

Most malpractice cases are taken on contingent fee basis, based upon the Statute called MICRA. Please contact a medical malpractice attorney in your town immediately as time may run to bring your claim.
