Malpractice

RE: Malpractice
I did what you said and here is what I reading

I. responsibility to pay lawyer's fees
The client agrees to hire lawyers in this matter on a contingency fee basis. Which is based on a recovery.
then

II responsibility for costs and expenses.
The client understands and acknowledges that certain costs will be requires to be incurred in the prosecution of the claim and any related litigation. Clients expressly authorize lawyers to advance such costs as are reasonable and necessary for the prosecution of this matter. In the event of recovery such advanced costs are to be paid from any recovery after reduction of the amount gross recovery by the attorneys fees due.
In the event no recovery is had or the recovery is insufficient to fully pay attorney's fees and cost then the clients shall have no further obligation to reimburse lawyers for costs. as such costs advanced become contingment upon recovery

it also says that if the lawyers withdraw from case, the client agrees to pay lawyers their costs incurred during the course of their representation only if client makes a recovery. but if client discharge lawyers then client is responsible for any fees occured.
Then with the part for cost of experts, court reporters etc, fees are only my responsibility if I recover any monies.



So it seems nothing is due unless I recover any monies and as long as I do not discharge my attorney.

I have had capsulodesis scaphoid, capsulodesis lunotriquetral joint wrist, debridement of triangular fibrocartilage all in my right wrist and a tendon sheath release(that was just one surgery) & a lunotriquetral fusion Plus now a wrist fusion
