What is this?
Legal assistance to resolve a medical malpractice claim in which you suffer physical, emotional or financial damage due to the negligence of a medical professional.
Examples:
Your physician misdiagnosed your appendicitis which led to additional complications and a prolonged hospital stay. You want to hold the physician and hospital liable and want to confer with an attorney regarding your next steps.
For Contingency Arrangements
There may be a situation where you and the network attorney agree to handle your legal matter with a contingency fee arrangement. This means that if you win the case, the attorney’s fees will be deducted from any money awarded to you.
Under the ARAG legal plan, the contingent fee cannot exceed 25% of the net recovery if successfully resolved before trial, or will not exceed 33% of the net recovery if successfully resolved after trial, or will not exceed 40% of the net recovery if successfully resolved on or after an appeal. You and the network attorney will arrange how costs (such as court costs, filing fees, etc.) incurred while pursuing your legal matter will be handled.
