fee basis

arrangement

A contingency fee means that you pay fees or compensation to your attorney
only if you recover compensation

If you settle or prevail in court and you are paid damages, then you will pay your attorney for his legal services

If you are not compensated for losses, you do not have to pay
legal fees

The amount you will pay your attorney for legal services is
generally a percentage of the total amount of money you recover
![Page 11: What Is Your Fee for Medical Malpractice Injury Case?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554c2fcfb4c905191f8b505a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The percentage that you pay can vary depending upon when and
how your case is resolved
![Page 12: What Is Your Fee for Medical Malpractice Injury Case?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554c2fcfb4c905191f8b505a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
If your claim settles, you will typically pay a smaller fee than if your case goes to court or if an appeal is filed
after the initial case

Typically, attorneys are able to help you to recover a larger amount of compensation than you would be
able to on your own
![Page 15: What Is Your Fee for Medical Malpractice Injury Case?](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554c2fcfb4c905191f8b505a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
This means that even after paying a percentage of your damages to your attorney, you may end up
with more money than you otherwise would have

Paying fees are often only part of your concern while you wait for
your claim to be resolved

Financial assistance including lawsuit loans and cash advances may be
available to you, and some medical providers will be willing to put a lien
on the settlement in lieu of immediate payment
