The Contingent Fee

Pennsylvania Medical Malpractice Law

Victims often don't consider hiring an attorney and filing a lawsuit because they believe lawyers all charge by the hour and at high rates. However, in personal injury and medical malpractice cases, lawyers usually don't charge by the hour, they work on a contingent fee basis.

Do not let money prevent you from seeking the truth and justice you deserve. Under the contingent fee arrangement clients don't pay on an hourly basis. Our law firm earns a fee only when we are successful in winning money damages. Not only that, the fee is an agreed upon percentage of the amount recovered, which ordinarily doesn't change regardless of the size of the settlement.

Contingent fees make it possible for anyone to hire only the very best lawyer to decide if there are grounds for a claim, without paying for that advice. More importantly, it gives everyone access to the justice system and representation equal to the best that insurance companies, doctors, and other defendants can hire.
