How Our Worker’s Compensation Legal Fees Work
Clients will never need to pay out of pocket regardless of how many times we discuss your case or meet with you. We only charge a contingency fee of 20% of whatever we are able to recover for you through our efforts, including settlement and trial award, which is paid as part of the insurance check. In the process, the attorney fee comes out of the insurance check, along with any advanced costs, which include any other deductions such as medical bills, child support liens, and loan payoffs. The rest of the check goes to the client.
Illinois Fee Schedule for Workers’ Compensation Cases
The Illinois statute has set 20% as the fee for workers’ compensation cases, which is always the amount we charge as a contingency fee. You will never see a higher fee for these types of cases.
Clarifying the Vasilatos Injury Law Contingency Fee Agreement
A contingency fee means that you don’t pay anything upfront. At Vasilatos Injury Law, our 20% fee ensures that you keep the majority of your settlement funds. This allows you to get the representation you deserve without worrying about out-of-pocket expenses.
Detailing the Fee Coverage & Advanced Costs
In addition to the contingency fee, there are certain advanced costs that may be necessary for your case. These can include fees for medical costs, expert witnesses, court filings, etc. At Vasilatos Injury Law, we cover these costs upfront and deduct them from your settlement or trial award. Rest assured, we’ll keep you informed about these costs throughout the process, so you’ll never encounter hidden fees or surprises.
Client Fee Expectations for Workers’ Compensation Cases
Throughout the legal process, we ensure that our clients are regularly updated about any potential costs. At Vasilatos Injury Law, communication is key—we keep you informed every step of the way, so you're never left in the dark about your workers' compensation legal fees. This ensures clarity and trust from the beginning.
Our Workers’ Comp Lawyer Consultation Fees
If you schedule a consultation with us, you’ll never need to pay. Our consultations come at no cost to you, regardless of whether or not we determine we can represent you in a workers’ compensation case. You’ll also never need to pay when meeting with us to discuss your case or contacting us via phone or email at any point throughout the claims process.
When Are Workers’ Comp Attorney Fees Required to Be Paid?
Our clients never have to pay prior to reaching a settlement. Once our attorneys have been able to obtain compensation through an insurance check, the 20% contingency fee will come out of that check, along with other costs pertaining to the work injury. You will receive the remaining amount, with no extra costs.
