Welcome back! Have you ever heard about the misconception of people thinking the attorney’s work for the insurance or for the doctors? That they are siding with them and just don’t care about injured workers. This is a wrong misconception. Not all attorneys are like this and in reality, the more you get in a settlement, the more the attorney gets. It is not in their best interest to get you any less.

In this week’s episode Carmen and Bilal address the elephant in the room: the benefits from hiring a lawyer for workers' comp versus not hiring one and how you can get different types of settlement amounts depending on it. In addition, they dive into lawyers’ fees; how much they get to keep and who pays for them. Do not miss all the numbers and details!
