What’s the cost of filing a birth injury lawsuit?

The entire cost of filing a birth injury lawsuit will depend on the law firm. However, there is usually no upfront cost when you choose to file a birth injury claim, as most firms work on a contingency fee basis.

Several, if not all, law firms operate on a contingency fee basis for birth injury claims.

This provides families the legal support they need to seek justice and file a claim for their children without the heavy burden of legal fees. To shed light on the subject, here’s a breakdown of what a contingency fee is:

  • No upfront cost: You do not need to pay any amount out of pocket to start the claim process for a birth injury lawsuit.
  • Covered expenses: The law firm will cover costs related to filing and litigation, as well as administrative and expert fees.
  • Payment upon success: If the law firm successfully wins your case, only then will they be paid. They usually deduct their contingency fee from your settlement. The total amount is generally discussed and agreed upon ahead of time. Law firms usually have a contingency fee that’s 30 to 40% of the settlement.
