How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Work Comp Attorney?

Anyone Can Afford to Hire Our Law Firm

Many people get their ideas of attorneys from movies and TV. From high-tension courtroom scenes to last minute plot twists, a lot of the things people "know" about lawyers have very little to do with the reality of practicing law. One of the big myths we hear is that you have to be wealthy to hire an attorney.

While some firms do bill clients an hourly rate or charge people upfront, we don't. We work on what's called a "contingency fee." That means that you don't pay us a thing unless and until we win your claim.

• There are no hourly fees
• There are no retainer fees
• There are no upfront costs
• There are no hidden costs

Even our legal consultation is free, so if you have questions about your Pennsylvania work comp claim, get in touch with us. We can help if your claim was denied or if you need help filing one. Call us at 412-394-1000 or fill out the form to the right.

Contingency fees allow you to choose your lawyer based on experience and track record instead of how much it costs. You can hire the best law firm to handle your claim and not worry that it will interfere with your ability to pay bills or take care of your family.

Since you don't have to worry about how much it will cost to hire us, the only thing that's left to consider is what you stand to lose if you don't.

Not Hiring a Work Comp Attorney Could Cost You

We can't tell you how many times we've heard clients say, "I thought I could handle it on my own." It's an understandable assumption, but people quickly learn that their employer's insurance company is just that – their employer's insurance company. Once you file your claim, you become the opposition, and it's their job to win.

They have a number of tactics they can use to get the upper hand – from delaying your claim to offering you lowball lump sum settlements – and they bet on you not taking a stand against them.

What's more, if you end up at a workers' compensation hearing without an attorney, it's likely that the judge will advise you to hire a lawyer before you proceed. That's because they've seen both sides of the system at work and understand that an experienced workers' compensation attorney will give you the best chance of getting the benefits you deserve.
