When someone wants to sue a doctor, they hire a lawyer. That lawyer may charge them for the service now, or, often in Colorado, will take the case on contigency, meaning the person suing the doctor pays little or nothing until they win a settlement or win at trial. If they don’t win, they may or may not owe the lawyer anything.
My understanding is that in Colorado a lawyer can charge up to a 40% contingency fee (as well as other fees).
