How much will it cost me to hire a lawyer on my workers compensation case?

Answer: All attorney’s fees must be approved by the Virginia Workers Compensation Commission; however, typically, in the event of a settlement, our fee is 20% of your recovery. That is the fee that the Commission will typically approve. That means, that in the meantime, you do not have to send us any money, and there is no retainer fee of any kind.

In addition, there are small, additional attorney’s fees that the Commission may Order in connection with any hearings we may pursue on your case; however, these fees rarely exceed $2000.00.
