What costs are involved in pursuing a medical malpractice claim in New York?

Medical malpractice claims involve several cost categories:

  • Attorney fees: Handled on contingency—you pay nothing unless we recover compensation
  • Expert witness fees: Medical experts charge substantial fees for case review and testimony
  • Medical record costs: Obtaining complete records requires fees to providers
  • Court filing fees and service costs: Required procedural expenses
  • Deposition and discovery costs: Transcripts, independent medical examinations, and related expenses

With contingency representation, these costs are typically advanced by the law firm and recovered from your settlement or verdict, meaning you face no upfront financial burden.
