What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Merrick Cost?

Typical fees range from 30% to 40% of the recovery, and you usually pay no upfront costs. New York law limits contingency fees in medical malpractice cases to a sliding scale: 30% of the first $250,000, 25% of the next $250,000, 20% of the next $500,000, and 10% of any amount over $1,250,000. Costs for expert witnesses and court fees may be deducted from your share. This is general information and not legal advice.
