Fees

One notable difference between a malpractice case against the United States and a case against a private health care provider is that the plaintiff (the party filing the lawsuit) is not entitled to a jury trial. In an FTCA malpractice case, a Federal Judge presides over the trial as both judge and jury. The judge determines whether the VA or military health care providers committed malpractice resulting in an injury. The judge further determines whether the plaintiff is entitled to recover monetary damages as well as the amount they are entitled to recover. If the case is settled in this phase, a fee of 25% is charged. Our fees are always contingent on your winning.
