TT is bad enough TO suffer industrial
4 injury, but wonse to lose the full
legal compensation for 1t. Yet this
generally happens. The full eompen-
sation permitted under the law rarely
goes to the injured worker.
Ignorance OF his rights, fear of VIC
limitation and lack OF money to en-
force his rights are the chief causes,
Under the workman compensation
laws hundreds of thousands of dollC 8
are continually lost to injured work
ers and their dependents from these
causes and also from the large and
often illegitimate charges made by at
torneys and 'adjusters for the in
iured." These often pocket a third
to half Of the compensation award
in cases where, Il he only knew 1t,
the injured man could get without
cost all that any lawyer can get for
him. He need merely ask for It,
Charge What Traffic VIII Bear.
The theory of all the compensation
laws is that the rights of the injured
shall be so clearly stated, and the
machinery for administering the law
so simple. that lawyers are unneces-
sary. It is true that In all disputed
cases legal assistance Ia necessary,
and In many other cases word of
legal advice may save q great deal Of
money and worry,
In many states the industrial board
decides the amount Of attorney fees,
but in Illinois and many other juris-
dictions nothing Is said about 1t by
the board unless the applicant for
compensation complains. In practice
the attorney charges just what he
likes. Many attorneys have their
clients sign agreements allowing them
attorney fees of 33 per cent, and even
serve notice of lien on the employer
or insurance company for that
amount.
All this is the merest bluff. In Illi-
nois and most other states no lien
will lie against a compensation award.
But few injured employees know this,
and even If they are dissatisfied they
believe they must pay according to
agreement.
NEEDLES Take Theirs, Too.
Lawyers practically always take
compensation cases on 8 contingent
fee basis; that is to say, their fees
are in proportion to what the case
produces, and if the claimant gets
nothing the lawyer gets nothing. Also
there are no court costs. 1t would
therefore appear at first sight that
lack Of money should not hinder a
man from getting his legal rights.
Medical charges, however, prove an
insurmountable obstacle in too many
cases. The worker may be faced by
