What Does a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Fairhaven Cost?
Most nursing home abuse lawyers in Massachusetts work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Typical contingency fees range from 33% to 40% of the settlement or award. Some attorneys may charge a flat fee for initial consultations or specific services. Costs for expert witnesses and court filing fees are often advanced by the lawyer and deducted from the final recovery. This is general information, not legal advice.
