In a medical malpractice lawsuit in New York, the attorney's fee is based on a sliding scale.

When your lawyer begins negotiating your case with the opposing attorney, does he take into account how much his expenses are as well as his attorney's fee?

The short answer is no, but the longer answer is maybe.

If your lawyer tells you that your case is worth $1 million dollars and you say that you want to get at least $2 million in your pocket after attorney's fees and expenses, then the attorney has to take that into account when making a settlement demand.

An attorney can tell you how much money you'll walk away with since he knows what his legal expenses are on your case and can tell you, down to the penny, what his fee will be if he's about to obtain a specific amount of money.

Most lawyers have a software program that allows them to tell you how much you'll receive if you obtain a certain amount of money. If the client is demanding and say "I need to have X dollars in order to settle my case," then your attorney can adjust his demand to hopefully arrive at your ideal number or at least somewhere in the range of what he believes is an appropriate settlement number for your case.
