What Does a Workers’ Comp Attorney Cost?
Most of the time, you don’t pay any attorney’s fee until you start receiving the workers’ comp benefits you deserve.
This is because most workers’ comp attorneys work on a contingency basis—meaning your lawyer will start working on your case without being paid and only collect a fee once your case is resolved.
After that, the attorney’s fee typically falls between 10% and 30% of your workers’ comp settlement.
The exact final cost is influenced by these factors:
- The severity of your injury
- The amount of work that went into proving your case
- A judge’s decision
- Laws that differ in each state
At Levine Benjamin, we understand costs are a real concern when you can’t work.
That’s why we provide a FREE consultation to help you understand your case and the potential benefits you could receive.

An attorney gathers your evidence, makes sure you meet deadlines and prevents the insurance company from shortchanging you.
Why Work with a Workers’ Comp Attorney?
It’s very unlikely that a workers’ comp insurer will immediately offer you all the money you deserve.
Insurance adjusters will quickly try to offer you a cash payout to settle a case. It may seem like a good idea just to take it.
But remember, the insurance adjuster isn’t working for you. They’re looking out for the insurance company first.
Adjusters often take advantage of people’s lack of knowledge about workers’ comp law.
But when they see you’ve got an attorney by your side, they’re much more likely to offer a fair settlement.
A lawyer can do all of this:
- Make sure you meet all the deadlines in the workers’ comp system.
- Make sure the insurer isn’t shortchanging you on your lost wages checks.
- Get you reimbursed for every cost related to your injury—like travel to doctor’s appointments.
- Gather the evidence you need to fight a workers’ comp denial.
- Make sure you’re getting the medical care you should receive.
- Deal with insurance adjusters—so you don’t have to.
At Levine Benjamin, we can even help you get other kinds of benefits that you might be eligible to receive, like Social Security Disability.
We have extensive experience helping clients through the maze of workers’ comp.
In fact, we’ve helped more than 80,000 people get the disability income they need.
