Legal Answers
31 Questions Answered
- Q. What is the typical contingency fee for a hospital malpractice case in WA?
- A: Med mal cases almost always need to be litigated. For a simple personal injury case in litigation, a 40% contingency fee would apply. Complex med mal cases can be more - 45% or even 50%, depending on a number of factors.
- Q. Is a 40% contingency fee standard for malpractice cases in WA?
- A: Standard rates for PI cases in general are 1/3 if they settle pre-litigation, 40% if they have to file suit. You always have to file on med mal cases, so this is standard.
- Q. Hit-and-run accident after police chase: delay insurance claim?
- A: There is no reason to delay. The determination of insurance coverage for the other driver could take a while. Also, people running from the police are more likely than average to not have any insurance. You should get your car repaired under your collision coverage. Since it wasn't your fault, you may be able to get the vehicle repaired without paying your deductible. If you have to pay your deductible and coverage for the other driver is found, you'll get it back.
