Caps On Attorneys’ Fees in Massachusetts Medical Malpractice Cases

Christopher Earley | | Massachusetts Medical Malpractice

Massachusetts medical malpractice cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. What that means is that your attorney(s) will take a percentage of any settlement or verdict amount that is recovered in your case. In Massachusetts, there are caps on the amount of these contingency fees in medical malpractice cases. They are the following: 40% of the first $150,000.00 recovered, 33% of the next $150,000.00, 30% of the next $200,000.00, and 25% of any recovery greater than $500,000.00.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
