How Do I Pay For An Attorney To Represent Me Regarding My Workers’ Compensation Claim?

The Illinois Hammer Injury Law Firm

If you’ve been injured on the job, the last thing you need is to worry about how you’ll afford legal help. At The Illinois Hammer Injury Law Firm, we believe quality legal representation should be accessible to every injured worker — without upfront costs or financial pressure.

That’s why we handle workers’ compensation cases on a contingency fee basis. In simple terms: you pay nothing unless we win.

What Is a Contingency Fee?

A contingency fee means your attorney’s payment is “contingent” on the outcome of your case. You don’t pay any hourly fees or upfront retainers. Instead, if your case is successful and you receive compensation, your attorney receives a percentage of that recovery as their legal fee. This will be clearly outlined in a written agreement before you move forward with your claim.

There are no hidden fees, no surprise costs, and no billing unless we’re able to help you secure the benefits you’re owed.

What Does This Mean for You?

Choosing a contingency fee structure allows you to:

  • Get skilled legal representation without worrying about hourly billing
  • Focus on your recovery rather than financial stress
  • Have peace of mind knowing your attorney is motivated to secure the maximum compensation possible

Even if your case takes months — or longer — to resolve, you won’t be billed along the way. We only get paid if you do.

What You Can Expect From Us

From the moment you contact our firm, we’ll explain how our fees work in clear, honest terms. We’ll walk you through:

  • How case-related expenses (like medical record requests or expert consultations) are handled
  • When and how attorney fees are deducted if your case is successful

We’re here to answer all your questions before you commit to anything, and we never pressure you to make a decision. You’ll know exactly what to expect — no jargon, no guesswork, and no fine print.
