attorneys often take malpractice cases on a contingency fee arrangement, which means their fees?

Kelle
are a percent of what you win, or no fee if you don't win or a fixed fee. All lawyers are different.

Hollingsworth
...are a percentage of the award if the case is won.

Irv S
...are a percentage of the award, if any.
It's a way of taking far more than they'd otherwise get.

Most answers are correct.

Contingency fees are often a MAJOR percentage of awarded amounts - might be cheaper to pay up front.
