Most attorney charge 50% for medical malpractice cases, especially in Shelby County because they are expensive and VERY difficult to win, especially in a conservative venue in Shelby County. Usually, it's 50% plus expenses. I typically charge 40-45% if I take a malpractice case simply because I like for my client to get more than me if possible.
Medical malpractice cases are some of the most difficult cases to win. They are also some of the most expensive. They rarely settle without a trial. You may be fortunate that you have a lawyer willing to take your case.
