        "text": "Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means you typically do not pay upfront legal fees. Instead, the attorney's fees are 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 generally do not owe attorney fees. This arrangement allows individuals to pursue justice without immediate financial burden.",
