Bill > S09420

This bill updates the contingent fee rules for attorneys in claims or actions for medical, dental, or podiatric malpractice. It increases the maximum contingent fee percentages that attorneys can charge, and allows attorneys to apply for enhanced fees in certain circumstances, such as when their performance was superior. The bill also permits plaintiffs to voluntarily waive the contingent fee limitations, as long as the fee does not exceed 33.33% of the amount recovered.
