Helping Injured Workers on Contingency
Many workers who have been injured on the job are worried that they cannot afford to hire an attorney to help them pursue their workers' compensation claims. Many attempt to handle their own claims, which can harm their chances of getting the benefits they deserve.
At OhioBWCAttorney.com — a network of independent workers' compensation and personal injury lawyers and law firms serving clients throughout Ohio — all of our participating firms handle cases on a contingency basis, which enables clients to hire us at no financial risk.
How Will Your Attorney Be Paid?
A contingency fee agreement means that the attorneys fees you pay are based on a percentage of the overall compensation you receive. If your lawyer is not able to help you successfully obtain compensation, you will not owe any fees or expenses at all.
The firms in our network charge contingency fees ranging from 10 to 40 percent of your overall award, depending on the amount of work involved in your case. Any expenses paid by the law firm are also recovered from any compensation you eventually receive.
How Do Contingency Fees Benefit Workers?
Contingency fees make it possible for injured workers to hire attorneys without having to worry about being left with bills they cannot afford to pay. They also give lawyers an incentive to help their clients get the maximum amount of compensation they are legally entitled to.
All of the law firms in our group offer slightly different contingency fee agreements. To discuss your case with an attorney in your region, don't hesitate to call us at 888-748-1868 or send us an e-mail to schedule a free initial consultation.
