Medical negligence: Upfront fees and 10% compensation – Normal?

Dear Questioner,

Legal fees and payment conditions vary from company to company, but it is a normal practice to receive a sum for the work performed and receive a percentage as a bonus for the positive outcome of the case.

Thank you!

Dear Questioner,

Law firms generally charge professional fees plus a certain percentage of compensation amount for medical negligence.

The applicable fee and percentage will be determined based on the convenience and policy of the law firm.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

The terms your lawyer has proposed for your medical negligence claim in Dubai are not uncommon.

Upfront fees for initial consultations are standard, and contingency fees, where the lawyer takes a percentage of your compensation only if you win the case, are often used in personal injury and medical negligence claims.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Dear Questioner,

Professional fee payment policy will be different for every lawyer and it is rightful to ask for an advance amount.

Also, several lawyers take up the matter without an advance payment.

Dear user,

Yes, it is normal for lawyers to ask for fees and a percentage of the compensation amount. Prices may vary depending on the lawyer/law firm.

You can try asking different lawyers to get the price that is suitable for you.

Dear Questioner,

The agreement between lawyers and clients is up to them; there is no normal or abnormal agreement, just as with any other agreement with anyone else in anything.

Some lawyers ask for fees to be paid in advance, and then fees after the verdict. Some lawyers ask only for a percentage of the amount of the verdict.

Some lawyers ask for both an advance fee and a percentage of the amount of the verdict.

Some ask for 10%, and some ask for 30%; like any other agreement.

Hi,

Pursuant to your query, law firms work on different packages; some just take a wholesome professional fee, some work on a success basis and some might work on a certain amount of professional fees and the rest on the percentage.

Hello,

If you have a strong case, we can take only 5000 AED upfront and a percentage of the compensation.

Please contact our office manager on his mobile with WhatsApp availability as well.

Yes, they are.

However, some offices accept their fees to be paid upon recovery. It all depends on how solid the case is.

Dear Questioner,

See, every lawyer's fees are different as they charge according to their profession.

Normally, in this kind of case, the lawyer will ask for a fixed percentage of compensation as their fee.

This is common in Dubai. However, you can also opt for free legal aid in Dubai.

Hello,

Is there a lawyer currently working on your case, or have you not appointed one yet?

We can file a medical error lawsuit on your behalf, with agreed-upon fees or a percentage after the ruling. In Dubai, yes, it is permissible to take a percentage and deduct fees.
