How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer in Missouri?

July 21, 2020 by James Hoffmann

If you think that you could benefit from hiring a workers’ compensation attorney, you may not be sure if it’s realistic to do so, particularly if you’re suffering due to lost wages or high medical bills.

Consultations Are Generally Free

To start out with, you may be wondering if you have to pay a fee to see a work injury lawyer for a case review. The answer is usually “no.” Almost all reputable lawyers who specialize in workers’ compensation cases will see you free of charge for a case review.

This is because, before the case review, there’s no way for an attorney to know whether or not you have a strong case. For this reason, most lawyers do not want to charge a fee, because if you do not have a solid case, they don’t want you to have to pay to find out that you can’t get the help you need.

Most Lawyers Work On A Contingency Fee Basis

So, what happens if your work injury attorney thinks you have a case? In most cases, they will take the case on contingency. 

Basically, this means that their compensation is determined by how much your claim is worth. Because of this, you will not be responsible for paying your workers’ compensation attorneys unless you win your case. If your case fails, you do not owe any contingency fee, since you were not awarded any money. 

You May Be Responsible For Some Legal Fees And Costs 

Just because you hire an attorney on contingency doesn’t mean that their services are free until your case is over. You may have to pay some legal fees like court filing costs, discovery costs, fees for expert witnesses, and other costs, depending on your case.

Your workers’ compensation injury lawyer can advise you about these costs, and help you understand how much you may need to pay before your case is over.

Hiring A Workers Compensation Lawyer Is Worth Every Penny!

If your case has been denied, you feel you are being mistreated by your employer’s recommended doctor, or you are having any other problems with workers’ compensation in Missouri, an experienced attorney is your best resource.

With the help of a work injury lawyer, you can get help, advice, and guidance throughout the claims process, and make sure you get the compensation you deserve for your injury.
