What Does a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Somerville Cost?
Most nursing home abuse lawyers in Massachusetts work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the lawyer takes a percentage of any settlement or court award. Typical contingency fees range from 33 percent to 40 percent of the recovery. Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket costs like filing fees or expert witness expenses. Costs vary by case complexity and the lawyer you choose. This is general information, not legal advice.
