        "text": "Most medical malpractice attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you generally don't pay upfront legal fees. Instead, the attorney's fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive if your case is successful, either through a settlement or a court award. If your case is not successful, you typically do not owe attorney's fees. However, you may still be responsible for case-related expenses, such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and deposition costs, regardless of the outcome. These arrangements are usually detailed in a written agreement.",
