Bill > S02368

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 allowed and permits applications for enhanced fees if the attorney's performance was superior. The bill also allows plaintiffs to waive the contingent fee limitations, as long as the attorney's fee does not exceed 33.33% of the amount recovered. The existing requirements for contingent fees in cases involving minors remain in place.
