How much does it cost to hire a New York medical malpractice lawyer?

We handle medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis; you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

New York law (NY JUD § 474-a) establishes a sliding scale for medical malpractice contingency fees:

  • First $250,000 recovered: 30%
  • Next $250,000: 25%
  • Next $500,000: 20%
  • Next $250,000: 15%
  • Amounts exceeding $1.25 million: 10%

This structure ensures that clients with larger recoveries retain a greater percentage of their financial compensation. There are no upfront costs, and case expenses are typically recovered from your settlement or verdict.
