Are there any up front costs to me for McAleer Tyrone to handle my workers’ compensation claim?
No, there are no up front costs for legal representation in a Georgia workers’ compensation claim. By statute, your attorney is allowed to recover 25% of any benefits they help you obtain or 25% of any settlement. If you do not get paid, your attorney does not get paid. In most cases, the only expenses which you would be likely to incur are litigation-related expenses like deposition fees and costs for obtaining your medical records, and while these expenses are usually extremely low, they can also be paid out of any settlement proceeds rather than out-of-pocket. When you hire The McAleer Law Firm, P.C. to handle your Georgia workers’ compensation claim, we will explain our fee agreement with you in detail and will answer any questions which you may have concerning our fees and any related expenses.
