How Much Does a Workers' Comp Lawyer Charge in California?
Did you or anyone you know ever receive an injury at your workplace? If so, you are entitled to receive workers’ compensation which covers the following:
- Your medical costs – ambulance fees, doctor’s fees, treatments, prescription drugs and medication, surgeries, prosthetics and travels to and from the doctor’s office in case you traveled more than 5 miles in one wy
- Compensation for your pain and suffering – calculated by experts
- Lost Wages – any past or future lost wages due to your inability to work will be covered by workers’ compensation. Usually, you will receive 2/3 of your lost wages based on your average weekly wages
- Disability benefits – permanent and temporary disabilities will be fully compensated for
- Death benefits – in case of death, the family will be able to collect benefits that will initially cover for funeral fees plus a monthly check
In order to receive workers’ compensation, you need help from an experienced legal expert, such as our Workers Compensation Attorney in Los Angeles. With over a decade of experience in helping individuals receive their workers’ compensation benefits, our attorneys know how to maneuver through the complex system and help you file a strong initial claim.
However, the majority of people refuse to hire an attorney, believing that it is “too expensive”. Here is why they are wrong, and why you should hire an attorney if you ever need help with your work comp claim, or anything else related to your work benefits.
Free Initial Compensation
When you first call one of our Los Angeles Workers Compensation Attorneys, you will be properly greeted and offered a chance to schedule a free initial consultation. Once you arrive, one of our attorneys will help you understand the legal aspect of your case, provide you with guidance and free case evaluation.Upon learning your options, your best bet is to let the attorney deal with your claim, as you don’t have the same knowledge about the matter. The initial claim is very important, and if denied, things can get even more complicated and your chances of receiving your workers’ compensation benefits will drastically decrease. Don’t gamble with the one shot you have to make things right. Call our attorneys, schedule your consultation and do the right thing.
Contingency Fees
Did you know instead of charging you in advance, all of our attorneys work on contingency fees?For those of you who don’t know what contingency fees are, it is a percentage of your benefits that your attorney will claim once you receive them. This percentage is negotiated in advance, even before you hire an attorney.
In California, this percentage is usually anywhere from 9 to 15 percent, however in some rare cases, an attorney may charge up to 20 percent if the case gets too complicated and extra work and effort are required.
Take your time and negotiate the deal with our attorneys before you hire them. Again, remember that you won’t be asked to provide any down-payments, and all legal fees and additional costs will be covered by our attorneys, and later reimbursed from your benefits. You have so much to win, and barely anything to lose. With that in mind, and let’s start working on recovering your benefits.
