What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer in Martinez Cost?
Most Georgia workers compensation lawyers work on a contingency fee basis meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The typical fee is 25 percent of the benefits recovered but this can vary. Some attorneys charge a flat fee for initial consultations or specific services. Georgia law limits attorney fees in workers comp cases and requires court approval for the fee. This is general information not legal advice.
