You may be entitled to benefits, such as vocational training, Social Security Disability benefits, or Long Term Disability benefits. Our team will evaluate your case to ensure you’re getting the full amount of benefits you need to recover and get back to work.
How much are Workers’ Compensation attorney fees?
Many injured workers are concerned about how much hiring a Workers’ Compensation attorney will cost them. The Workers’ Compensation attorneys at Fields Law Firm are paid only after we are successful in getting benefits for you – you never pay us up front for any Workers’ Compensation attorney fees or costs.
In addition, Minnesota Workers’ Compensation laws set a maximum fee that Workers’ Compensation attorneys in Minnesota can charge on Workers’ Compensation claims. The laws are complicated and vary depending on several factors, based on the amount and types of benefits we recover for you.
