This is a question that is best answered by an attorney in your area because it is my understanding that Texas does not limit the amount an attorney may recover in fees in a medical malpractice action. So then one would assume that it is based upon the open negotiations between the parties. In other words, you should negotiate with your attorney for a certain fee. Fees can be hourly or on a contingency basis, In New York most personal injury cases are contingency based. I would ask around of other people in the area that have filed cases based upon medical malpractice and I would consult with a few attorneys on the matter as well. Good luck.
