\"Attorney<\/a>So, how much do lawyers charge to help settle AR Workers\u2019 Compensation claims? It\u2019s a really good question, especially when you\u2019re hurt, unable to work and you\u2019re trying to keep the bills paid. Every dollar matters, right?<\/p>\n

Well, the truth is, attorney\u2019s fees don\u2019t amount to near as much as you might think. Many people think AR Workers\u2019 Comp is the same as personal injury law, where the attorney gets 1\/3 of the total settlement. But that\u2019s just not the case.<\/p>\n

In fact, an attorney gets a relatively small portion of the Workers’ Compensation settlement amount. For starters, the fees charged by an attorney to represent an injured worker in an Arkansas Workers’ Compensation claim are set by state law<\/a> at 12.5% from the injured worker. And sometimes even this fee is negotiated during settlement to be paid by the insurance company.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also helpful to know that there are no \u201cup front\u201d charges, or fees. In fact, a claimant doesn\u2019t owe their lawyer a dime unless he\/she collects money on their behalf \u2013 either through settlement, or by asking a judge to force an insurance company to pay benefits they have wrongfully denied.<\/p>\n
