How much your workers compensation attorney will cost varies for each situation. Each WCB lawyer or WCB consultant has different pricing. Instead of telling you a specific rate, it’s better to understand the structure.
A workers comp attorney or WCB consultant will normally charge you based on any one or combination of the following terms:
File review fees
Hourly rate
Percentage of money they actually get you
Miscellaneous fees like travel expenses
It’s important that you speak with whoever you’re thinking to represent you to fully understand how they are going to charge you for their services.
You don’t want to end up with a surprise bill after a WCB appeal.
You also want to ask WHEN you need to pay your representative. Some look for upfront retainers while others will not collect until they've won the appeal.
