Our office works strictly on a contingent fee basis meaning we only get paid if we generate some level of permanent disability for our clients.  The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board will allow a fee awarded against an injured worker’s permanent disability of 15%.  This fee gets paid at the end of the case.  The carrier issues a separate check to us.  This office does not bill our clients for services.  If there is no award of permanent disability for an injured worker, this office earns no fee.
