Every Illinois medical malpractice lawyer that we know and recommend works on a contingency basis. In other words, they are not compensated unless the case is successful. In Illinois, a medical malpractice attorney's fee is limited to (a) 33 1/3 percent of the first $150,000 recovered, (b) 25 percent of the next $850,000 recovered, and (c) 20 percent of any amount over $1,000,000. If the attorney performs extraordinary services involving more than the usual time and effort, the attorney may petition the court for additional compensation. Please note that almost every Illinois medical malpractice lawyer that we recommend advances all of the costs of litigation.
