Workers' Compensation: Why work with a lawyer?

While the workers’ compensation process may seem straightforward, it’s hard to know whether your settlement, your medical care, and your work accommodations are fair. Workers’ comp lawyers help you claim the maximum possible payout. They also make the process less stressful — mediating between doctors, employers, and insurance companies. Best of all, lawyers don’t charge anything upfront; they only get paid when you win or settle.

FAQs about workers' compensation

Do I need a workers' compensation lawyer in Texas?

If your injuries are very minor, and you spend little (or no) time away from work, then a lawyer may not be much help. But if you require medical attention, miss work, or return to work on “light duty” — a workers’ compensation lawyer can ensure you get the care and payout you deserve. In fact, workers’ compensation payouts average 5x as much when a lawyer gets involved.

How much do workers' compensation lawyers charge in Texas?

Workers’ compensation lawyers charge nothing upfront — they only get paid once you win or settle. In Texas, the maximum a lawyer can charge is up to 25% of your weekly or total income benefit.
