Is an injured worker entitled to monies for the payment of union dues, health insurance, or other similar benefits?
A. No. Unfortunately, the Act does not provide monies to the worker for any of the above mentioned benefits. 29. If an injured worker decides, for whatever reason, to discharge his present attorney, will he have to pay more than a 20% attorney’s fee or be concerned about an interruption of his Workers’ Compensation benefits? A. No. An injured worker dissatisfied with their present attorney has the right to discharge their attorney and retain a new attorney. Retaining a new attorney will not result in the injured worker being charged more than a 20% attorney fee or result in the interruption of the their Workers’ Compensation benefits. It is the responsibility of the newly retained attorney to pay the previous attorney for any out-of-pocket expenses they might have incurred, or for any time the attorney might have expended during the handling of the injured worker’s claim.
