Hurt at work? You may be wondering if you should hire a workers’ comp lawyer to help you seek important workers’ comp benefits, such as medical care and lost wages. You may also be wondering if you can afford one.
The answer to both of these questions is yes.
My firm has helped thousands of injured employees fight for maximum workers’ compensation benefits and fair settlements on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront costs, no hourly fees – and no attorney’s fee at all if you don’t get a monetary recovery for your injury.2
Read on to learn more about hiring a workers’ comp attorney on a contingency fee basis. If you’re ready to have your case evaluated for free, call 1-866-900-7078 right now.
What Does Working on a Contingency Fee Basis Mean?
A contingency fee payment arrangement means if your lawyer is successful, they’ll collect a percentage of what they recovered for you as an attorney’s fee. The percentage charged by workers’ compensation lawyers can vary significantly depending on the laws of the state in which you file your claim. Some lawyers may collect 25% of the total recovery amount, while other lawyers may collect 40%.
At my firm, we handle workers’ compensation cases in multiple states and each state has different rules and regulations governing the legal fees that an attorney may charge for handling your claim.
For example, our fee rate is 25% of all sums collected for claims arising under North Carolina law.2 This fee is subject to the approval of the North Carolina Industrial Commission, the state body that oversees all North Carolina workers’ compensation claims. And we will only take your case if we believe we can get you a better result than you would without us.
Bottom line: We won’t take your case if we don’t think you will come out ahead – after hiring us.
Regardless of which state laws apply, when we handle your claim there are:
- no upfront costs and
- no hourly fees
for you to worry about. And if you don’t get compensation for your injury, you don’t pay us an attorney’s fee. Guaranteed.2

Do I Need an Attorney for My Workers’ Comp Case?
If you have been seriously injured at work, I highly recommend that you hire an attorney for your workers’ compensation claim. Experienced workers’ compensation lawyers can provide you with advice and assistance in determining the best course of action to take when filing a claim, appealing a denial, or negotiating a settlement.
Additionally, a workers’ comp attorney will negotiate and communicate with the insurance company and can help protect your rights throughout the entire process.
At my firm, our goal is to help you pursue as many benefits as possible, as quickly as possible.
What Should You Look for in a Lawyer?
In addition to asking whether an attorney works on a contingency fee basis, there are other factors you should consider when choosing the right lawyer for you.
An attorney’s or firm’s experience and track record should also be taken into consideration when choosing a lawyer. After all, it’s not just about what an attorney charges but how much they may be able to put in your pocket at the end of the day.
Research the case results of any workers’ compensation attorney you are considering hiring – either by looking at their website or by asking about them on the phone. You want to make sure that the firm you hire has experience with helping injured workers seek workers’ comp benefits and fight for the maximum possible settlement when the case calls for it.
Also, check to see what former clients have to say about the attorney and firm. See what they have to say about the working relationship and communication style of the professionals they dealt with throughout their workers’ comp cases.
