Malpractice lawsuits are very complicated - I mean, incredibly complicated - and involve the layout, in advance, of lots of cash for tests, expert witnesses, etc.

If you have a good case, the lawyer's contingency fee will be anywhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of whatever your eventual recovery might be. He or she will tell you right up front, but, you know, the lawyer's fee shouldn't be your main concern; that should be your health.

Don't be disappointed if the lawyers you talk to don't find that you have a case. There's a world of difference between what civilians think is a "pretty darn good case" and what really is an actionable matter.

So, good luck.
