In some states there are larger class action suits that are ongoing with huge numbers of welders that have developed Parkinson's disease or precursor conditions. Contacting a class action attorney with experience in this field can help determine if you would qualify for the class action suit.

Most attorneys working with individuals with Parkinson's disease will coordinate with attorneys in other areas, especially in class action suits. Be sure to find out if the attorney that you retain is representing you directly or is working with the firm that will be representing you.

As with almost all types of cases, there are different billing and fee options. In large cases such as Parkinson's cases typically attorneys will charge on a contingency basis, meaning they will get paid only when and if the case settles in their clients favor.
