What are contingent based attorney fees and costs for a medical malpractice case?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Lapin (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Lapin Law Offices
First, as to your actual question, "What are contingent based attorney fees and costs for a medical malpractice case?" there is no single answer to that question. Contingency fees vary between attorneys. In addition, most attorneys charge a higher percentage the more difficult a case is. Moreover, the likelihood of success also may change the contingency fee percentages. The lower the likelihood of recovery, the higher the fee percentage as the attorney is taking a higher risk that he or she will not receive any money from a case. Costs also differ depending on whether a case settles before a lawsuit is even tried or whether the case goes to trial. Costs may include any or all of the following: filing fees for the lawsuit; photocopies; postage; costs for medical records and/or reports; mileage; expert witness fees; and court reporter fees. This is just a list of the more common costs and expenses; there are many costs and expenses. In most medical malpractice cases, you have to have another doctor, or possibly more than one, willing to testify that the first doctor committed malpractice. Finding and paying doctors for their opinions and testimony is usually very expensive and is typically the largest cost in a medical malpractice case. The retainer agreement you sign with the attorney may list the costs and expenses although typically the agreement will list some as examples. It is hard to predict at the beginning what all the possible costs and expenses will be. Medical malpractice cases are usually more expensive than car accident and other personal injury cases. Second, although you do ask about it, you need to be aware that the statute of limitations for medical malpractice case is generally two (2) years from the date of the negligent (malpractice) act. There are a few exceptions to this rule. One of the exceptions is that if you did not, and should not have, know that malpractice occurred. Under this exception, you generally get 1 year from the date you found out, or should have been able to find out, to file a lawsuit if the 2 year statute of limitations has already expired. Finally, I cannot answer whether you have a medical malpractice case. Although you do provide a lot of information, it is insufficient for me to be able to say that you have a medical malpractice case or not. I also cannot comment on the statute of limitations as you do not provide specific dates. You should consider with an attorney to learn more about your rights, whether you have a case and what the statute of limitations on your case is.

Can I sue a fast food restaurant if they don't accurately describe what is in their food?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Lapin (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Lapin Law Offices
While restaurants should identify the ingredients, especially as it relates to allergens, I do not believe there are required to, at least under Nebraska law. However, there may be a requirement that if they are directly asked they would have to identify at least those items contained within their food especially as it would relate to anything that a person could be allergic to, such as milk, peanuts or gluten. There may also be a duty, if asked, if a particular ingredient, such as bacon, is in the food. In short, the restaurant does not have to list what is contained within their food but would have to, if asked, answer truthfully at least about certain types of ingredients. There may be federal laws, rules or regulations, which I cannot comment upon as I am unaware of all of them, regarding identifying the contents of food. While I believe there may be some requirements for listing items that contains common allergens I do not know if there are any laws, rules or regulations with regard to listing the contents for religious reasons. An argument a restaurant could make against any claim would be that you could have asked whether the baked beans contained anything that would violate your religious belief, such as bacon. The argument would be that you have the duty to ask rather than they have a duty to display the information. You may want to contact the Food and Drug Administration or other federal agencies that regulate restaurants and determine if you do have a claim under federal law.
