FAQ: Is there a Fee for Workers’ Comp Lawyer?

The spe­cif­ic con­tin­gency fee per­cent­age can vary depend­ing on the laws of the juris­dic­tion and the agree­ment between you and the lawyer. Typ­i­cal­ly, con­tin­gency fees for work­ers’ comp cas­es range from 15% to 25% of the award­ed ben­e­fits or set­tle­ment. It’s impor­tant to dis­cuss the fee arrange­ment with your lawyer before hir­ing them.

While the con­tin­gency fee cov­ers the legal rep­re­sen­ta­tion pro­vid­ed by the lawyer, there may be addi­tion­al costs or expens­es relat­ed to your case. These costs can include fil­ing fees, med­ical record fees, expert wit­ness fees, and oth­er expens­es incurred dur­ing the legal process. Your lawyer will typ­i­cal­ly explain these poten­tial costs to you and dis­cuss how they will be handled.

If your work­ers’ comp claim is denied and no ben­e­fits or set­tle­ment are obtained, you may not be required to pay any attor­ney fees. How­ev­er, it’s essen­tial to dis­cuss this with your lawyer as each case and fee agree­ment may have unique circumstances.

Many work­ers’ comp lawyers offer free ini­tial con­sul­ta­tions to dis­cuss the details of your case and eval­u­ate its mer­its. Dur­ing this con­sul­ta­tion, you can ask ques­tions about fees, the legal process, and the poten­tial out­comes of your case. It’s advis­able to take advan­tage of these con­sul­ta­tions to find the right lawyer and under­stand the terms of rep­re­sen­ta­tion before mov­ing forward.
