ATTORNEY FEES: How is a San Diego Workers Compensation Attorney Paid?

 

A:

The lawyer fees are set by statute as contingency on the outcome of the injured workers' case.  This means the attorney does not get paid until there is a offer of settlement on the case.  The lawyer fee generally ranges from 9% to 15%, but an attorney can petition for higher fee, such as 20%, depending on the complexity and difficulty of the case.  Each case is different as each person has different job duties and injuries on the job.

Remember, everything in a workers compensation case has to be approved by the San Diego Workers Compensation Appeals Board, including attorneys fees; and the attorney is paid via a separate check from the work comp insurance company.
