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.
