Only when your employer or insurance company has denied that you suffered a work injury or the extent of the injury or where your employer or insurance company is trying to stop or modify your benefits do you need to pay an attorney

Most work related injuries are accepted as compensation by the employer or the insurance company. In addition, in most circumstances employees return to work after their injury has resolved to the point where they can return to their old job or they have found new employment with either the old employer or a new one. In those situations you will most likely receive the wage loss and medical benefits you are entitled to get. Therefore, there is no need to pay an attorney in those situations. Furthermore, if you have a question about your ongoing benefits you can obtain valuable information about workers’ compensation from this website or through publications provided by Monahan Law Practice free with no obligation unless than your address so we can mail you valuable information.

However, in certain circumstances you may need to hire a lawyer. The standard fee is Twenty (20%) percent of your wage loss benefits but only until such time that a workers’ compensation Judge has approved the fee.

In cases where the insurance company has denied that you were injured on the job, where the insurance company is not paying all the benefits to which you are entitled, or where the insurance company is trying to stop or reduce your benefits, do you need to hire an attorney.
