How Much Do New Hampshire Workers' Compensation Attorneys Cost?

If you're unable to work or are facing steep medical bills, you're probably wondering if you can afford to hire a workers' compensation attorney.

The good news is that you'll pay nothing when you hire an attorney and you'll only pay legal fees if the attorney collects money on your behalf. This is known as a contingency fee and it's the fee structure most commonly used by workers' compensation lawyers and other types of personal injury attorneys.

The advantage of a contingency fee is that you'll spend nothing while your claim is being processed or your appeal is being heard by the New Hampshire Department of Labor Workers Compensation Division. If money is tight, you can use it on essentials and won't be tying it up on legal fees.

If your claim is successful, you'll owe your workers' comp attorney up to 20 percent of any insurance money you receive. This amount is set by New Hampshire workers' compensation laws and must be approved by the New Hampshire Department of Labor.
