If a lawyer demands money from you to handle your workers compensation claim, you are getting ripped off!
It's illegal for an attorney to accept payment from an injured worker when representing them in a workers compensation. Not only is it illegal, it's unethical.
In a workers compensation case, the attorney for an injured worker will be paid at the end of the case by the insurance company if s/he is successful in obtaining you benefits. Fees and costs are not subtracted from your settlement. They are paid in addition to any benefits you win.
If someone claiming to be a lawyer demands money from you, hang up the phone.
