Individualized Attention

At many workers compensaiton law firms, clients are treated like numbers—and rarely speak to an actual work comp lawyer. At Rothermel & Wilson, PLLC, that’s not how we operate. I make it a priority to meet with every new client face-to-face, so we can build trust and understanding from day one.

Unlike other work comp lawyers, where your case is handled by paralegals, I personally oversee the most aspects of your claim. If you ever have questions or want to talk, you’re welcome to email me directly or call to schedule a phone or in-office appointment. You deserve real access to your workers’ compensation attorney—and that’s exactly what you’ll get here.

Better Prepared

Whenever a hearing is scheduled in your case, I personally prepare every detail. I’ll provide you with a clear letter explanation outlining the issues to be addressed, what to expect during the hearing, and the steps we need to take to be fully prepared.

I make it a priority to speak with or meet each client before each hearing. If you’re scheduled to testify, I’ll meet with you face-to-face to walk you through the process and make sure you’re fully prepared and confident. You won’t face your work injury alone—I’ll be with you every step of the way.

How Are Attorneys Paid?

In NY Workers’ Compensation, Lawyers are paid on a contingency fee basis. This means that there will only be a fee if there is money moving to you. Fees for NYS Comp are set by statute at 15% of any retroactive or lump sum payment, 1/3 of a single weeks payments if there is a hearing, or 15 weeks of benefits when you are found to have a permanent disability, payable at some small amount per week. All fees must be approved by a Workers’ Compensation Law Judge. Although fees come out of your award, they are paid directly by the insurance company, so you never pay directly.
