Bill > A10451

This bill updates the contingent fee rules for attorneys in claims or actions for medical, dental, or podiatric malpractice. It increases the maximum contingency fee percentages that attorneys can charge, and allows attorneys to apply for enhanced fees in certain circumstances. The bill also permits plaintiffs to waive the contingency fee limitations, as long as the attorney's fee does not exceed 33.33% of the amount recovered. The changes aim to provide more flexibility in attorney compensation for these types of malpractice cases.
