If you have been the victim of a malpractice case, you need to make sure you will not incur any fees or costs unless you receive compensation.
Flaherty Fardo guarantees that if we accept your malpractice lawsuit, we cannot be compensated unless we win and or settle your lawsuit and you receive compensation.
The contingency fee agreement means that payment for any legal services is contingent upon success. The lawyer is only paid if they obtain money for the client. The lawyer receives a contingent fee (or percentage) of the total sum of money actually recovered.
The standard contingency fee for malpractice cases in Pennsylvania is 40%. However, this fee can sometimes be negotiable, depending upon the liability and severity of the injuries.
The contingency fee allows justice for injured victims who do not have the resources to hire a lawyer. Also, when lawyers are hired on a contingency fee basis, they have stronger financial incentive in the final outcome. The lawyers fee is directly tied to the outcome of the case. If there is a defense verdict, or no recovery for any reason, the lawyer can not be paid a fee. Likewise, the client will have no financial obligation to the lawyer unless they receive compensation.
Flaherty Fardo provides contingency fee agreements for all of our medical malpractice cases. Our contingency fee agreements allow our clients to focus on their lives.
Flaherty Fardo also guarantees that unless we are successful, clients will never owe us any advanced case costs. Advanced case costs are different than fees. Fees refer to the lawyers compensation for their time and services. Advanced case costs refer to expenses advanced by the lawyers. These are different.
If a lawyer hires a medical expert for your case, the doctor may charge anywhere from $1,000.00 to $10,000.00 or more. The lawyer advances these costs for you. If you lose, you are not responsible for the costs. However, if you win, then the costs are deducted from your percentage, not the lawyer’s percentage.
When hiring the right lawyer, make sure your lawyer is not wasteful with costs. You will be paying these costs back at the end of the lawsuit. Thus, you want to know if your lawyer is spending your money wisely. Are they flying first class? or hiring the most expensive doctors?
Flaherty Fardo ensures that in all cases, we spend no more than is necessary to aggressively pursue your case. We understand that each dollar we advance is one less dollar that you will have later. We believe that injured victims need to keep as much money in their pockets as possible.
If you have any questions about wrongful death lawsuits, Flaherty Fardo offers free consultations. Consults can be done online or by calling our offices at 412.802.6666.
Our representation for all Pennsylvania wrongful death and survival action cases is based on a contingent fee structure. There is absolutely no fee unless we obtain monetary recovery. We advance 100% the costs, including experts, filings, and depositions and are only reimbursed from the client’s share if we are successful.
I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
