Below is a sample medical malpractice contingency fee agreement. It used to be four pages long. But it does not need to be if you are truly trying to be fair with your client. So we have been cutting our retainer agreement back over last 18 years to this.<\/p>\n
I, Jane Doe, as wife and guardian of John Doe, retain the services of the law firm of Miller & Zois, L.L.C. as my sole attorneys to represent me for a medical malpractice claim which arose out of an incident which occurred on or about January 22, 2021 involving University of Maryland Medical Center and others.<\/p>\n
Miller & Zois agrees to fight diligently to get me the best possible recovery in my case. I agree to pay to the law firm of Miller & Zois the sum of 40% of any settlement, or other monetary award or compensation resulting from this representation in addition to any and all costs associated with this representation. If I do not receive a monetary award from an out-of-court settlement or at an arbitration or trial, I will not be responsible for any fees or costs Miller & Zois may have incurred to pursue my case<\/strong>. These costs will be borne by Miller & Zois.<\/p>\n
