I fell at work in 2018. For two years I worked with workers comp but then we hit a wall. I was frustrated and stuck. That’s when I found Nick and his office. They were extremely welcoming and helpful in a time I was so frustrated with it all!! In 2023 I fell again and they came to the rescue to help ensure I was getting everything I needed. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

Pratcher Krayer represented my slip and fall case. Nick was AWESOME! He was always honest, professional, and very thoughral throughout the entire time my case was open. His office stayed in the loop and always up to date in following up. Something he said to me that stood out was that " HE worked for me as his client " and that's how he made me feel while working together. Thank you!

Exceptional Legal Support During a Difficult Time:
My wife and I had the privilege of working with Jeffrey Gentilotti's office after a serious car accident in May 2022. She was rear-ended, resulting in significant back and neck injuries that required nearly 18 months of physical therapy. Initially, the insurance company's settlement offer was insulting and would hardly cover the medical expenses.
Upon the recommendation of a family member, we reached out to Jeffrey Gentilotti's office, and from that moment on, our experience was nothing short of exceptional. In less than two years, we received a settlement that we are genuinely happy with!
Our overall experience was remarkably easy, and we never felt any pressure to make decisions we weren't comfortable with. The staff at Jeffrey Gentilotti's office was not only helpful but also remarkably attentive to our needs. They consistently answered our questions to the best of their ability and promptly referred us to a lawyer for any inquiries beyond their scope.
Jeffrey was instrumental when it came time to make decisions regarding how to pay off any medical bills. His expertise and guidance were invaluable. When the settlement came in, he acted swiftly to get us the money. Moreover, he advised us to seek out a second claim due to the other driver's underinsured policy, ultimately resulting in coverage for the remaining medical bills. As a result, we received more in both settlements than we originally thought.
Jeffrey Gentilotti's knowledge and experience in the claims field are the best I have experienced, and I would highly recommend him to represent my family and friends.

Very helpful and professional all around the office just needs a more friendly receptionist the lady doesn’t even let you get up to counter before she starts shouting questions like she never saw a black face walking in front door or something bad happened in the past to her. A nice person while entering a business would help.

Terrific people. Excellent communicators. They really care about their clients. My case was small compared to most, and probably yours. Their diligence was out of this world. If they worked as hard as they did on my case, imagine what their incredible work for you will be like. Contact Meghan Mallick @ Morris James LLP to get the process started. Meghan and Matthew Fogg are amazing, caring, relentless professionals, always working on your behalf. Again, amazing people.

HEATHER LONG formerly from the KCRP&O firm….
THROUGHOUT THIS (2019-2022) BATTLE, Heather Long, my legal representative called me a liar the entire time, even with medical evidence of substantial damage. Heather and her team wore me out just as much as the defense. Also, just before settling, I WAS ENLIGHTENED BY HEATHER, THAT WORKERS COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS GET PAID FROM DOL, SO DO NOT EXPECT TO FILE A CLAIM AGAINST DOL OR OSHA THROUGH A WORK COMP CLAIM. I believe Heather Long protects the DOL and the De. corporations. I also believe Heather and the defense attorney, Andrew Carmine, were negotiating my case to benefit themselves and DOL, not to benefit the now permanently disabled client (me), that suffered lifelong damages from an incident at Alutech United,Inc.(a Delaware corporation).
Upon settlement of a 3yrs battle, I was encouraged by Heather and her team to sign papers that stated that the defense/corporation accepts no responsibility of the injuries that were proven by highly qualified medical expert opinion to be suffered from the (2018)incident. They also put some of my total settlement in a MSA (Medicare set-aside account) that was supposed to be for future treatment, and the account holders will not consent to the recommended treatment. That was $26,000. that was taken from my settlement that I’ll probably never see or be permitted to use. Now SSA(your tax $) is paying me a monthly salary that I used to make in 5days. My case should’ve went to the Supreme Court but Heather Long said that Workers Compensation does not go further than the DOL’s Industrial Accident Board, which I learned recently is a flat out lie!!! I had legal grounds to sue OSHA(derelict of duty), the DOL(derelict of duty), and the Alutech United,Inc. corporation(Permanent physical damages/Perjury, etc.) but with Heather Long, I could only pursue my lawsuit against Genex Westfield Insurance, Alutech United Inc.’s policyholder.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND A DIFFERENT LAWYER AND PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST OF THE DELAWARE LAW FIRMS PROTECT EACH OTHER SO IF YOUR CASE IS IN DELAWARE, FIND A ‘PITBULL’ ATTORNEY IN ANOTHER STATE THAT IS DEL. WORK. COMP. CERTIFIED!! I know this because when I would call another attorney for a second opinion on my concerns, that attorney would call Heather and let her know I was asking questions.
Good Luck and God Bless!!!
And GOOD LUCK suing me for this review, LOL, it’s all true so you can’t.

Heather did a great job helping me with my car accident. She was able to negotiate with the insurance companies and get me a settlement that helped me get out from the financial burden the accident had caused in the first place. I highly recommend calling Heather if you are in the same situation as me.

Heather is simply an amazing lawyer!! My accident left me with a brain injury. I knew I needed help. I struggled talking, my eyes were super sensitive to light and noises were a struggle to deal with. On the first day, her words of confidence that she would take care of all the medical bills and that I just needed to focus on healing were words of an angel. She was excellent with literally everything. A good listener, a good communicator, always kept me in the loop. Then with all the legal stuff, well, just amazing how well she took care of me. It was the worst year of my life due to the accident, but Heather was strong in my corner at a time I needed it the most!! I HIGHLY recommend her!!

I hired Woody to be my lawyer on 2 separate car accidents. After the first accident I was so pleased with Woodys work that I decided to hire him after my 2nd accident. Everything went like the first lawsuit and the case went to settlement. I was under the impression that all of my medical bills have been settled and paid according the settlement documents. After a couple years of not paying attention to my credit score I find out that the largest medical bill that was suppose to be paid was never paid according to the hospitals billing department. I went back into my settlement documents to confirm it was suppose to be paid and I immediately tried reaching out to the eveland law firm. I was able to speak with Della on the phone whom said she would look into this but went out on leave shortly after. I've been trying to get Woody on the phone to talk about this but he won't answer or return my calls. The last email I received from Woody he said he has been busy so we scheduled a day and time we can discuss this over the phone but he never answered his phone or returned my phone call. I am getting very frustrating, this $15,000 medical bill that is suppose to be paid, instead is sitting in collections and is destroying my credit, preventing me to be able to purchase anything. I am extremely disappointed with Woody and his lawfirm and I wish he would remove my review from his website. I use to recommend Woody to everyone I know that needed a lawyer but no longer, I tell them don't hire Eveland law firm.

I have known and worked with Woody for better than 20 years (as much as I hate to admit it) He is the only attorny I would use. Having him on your side is like having family on your side. He is kind, efficent, trustworthy, and honest with you, like it or not! I appreciate that in him. I don't know of too many attornies that are upfront and honest. He represented me through a long case and several attorny changes on the other side. He never let me down, and he is still representing me. I wouldn't want any one else.

Mr. Eveland is helping me work through the maze of personal injury law. My case is in process.
I have also consulted with him on another matter, he was responsive and gave me answers in a very tight time frame. This help me make a decision that I felt comfortable and informed.
I feel that he has my interest in mine and will work throught this long process to gain the best result for me.

Patience is key he gets the job might not hear from him in the process that’s because he his getting it done behind the scenes on top of the other cases he deals with. 100% trusted lawyer over any other lawyer in Delaware please trust my word.

Jacobs & Crumplar took on my medical malpractice case when no other firm would. Courtney Prinski and paralegal, Lynn Hyde heard me out, treated me with kindness, honesty, and respect , and applied the full force of their resources and knowledge of the law to get me the successful outcome and closure that I deserved.
Courtney Prinski is an intelligent force of nature who doesn’t sell her clients short. She and Lynn Hyde kept me fully informed at all times and made me feel we were really a team.
I highly recommend Jacobs & Crumplar. Five stars isn’t enough.

Hired this law firm in 2004, David Ardnt came to my house after having an auto accident. He said this was a great case worth over $400,000 dollars, they settled at $52K enough to reimburse my tools and I'm a cripple for life! Would not recommend!

I just want to share my experience with this law firm. I was turned down by several well known law firms however, I continued looking and time was running out. I called Jacob's and Crumplar and they sit up an appointment with me. The attorney I saw was David . I wasn't disappointed at all . David walked me through everything. I was totally satisfied with the outcome. I plan to let others know. Thanks again David

I first want to say that I’ve had nothing but great experiences with this law firm until last week. Gerry Gray gave me my life back and is caring and thorough. This business gets 4 stars and not 5. This is because a paralegal emailed me rude responses. I had questions about an unemployment balance that was included in my bankruptcy, because I’m still getting statements. I was just trying to find out if the balance was discharged. I was treated rudely and I want the firm to know what happened. I’ve always recommended this law firm to anyone who asks about an attorney. I not sure if I can continue to recommend them to family and friends.

When I found myself in an emergency PFA situation with no lawyer, STEVE made me feel welcome and with no hesitation took my case under short notice reviewed it and addressed it, he is a professional of utmost respect and walked with me to the courthouse making me feel safe being that I was, as I'm sure many are in our shoes, TERRIFIED. Steve finally gave my family and myself the feeling of security and safety by addressing every detail of the court process. NOT ONLY did he find my safety to be of importance but he ADDRESSED my childrens(my main concern) safety immediately as well. Steve was able to review my situation and helped myself and my children get the comfort and safely that we longed for for 7YEARS! On the first court date even the judge apologized for not having addressed our case sooner/properly(in previous custody cases where others did not represent me but only took my money thus adding to insecurities) when I had previously filed alone. I cannot emphasize enough how courteous the staff and MR. Welsh are. Empathetic and with a smile to greet you! Not once did I feel undervalued in this office and my questions were always addressed if not immediately, by the next business day. Now my Children are finally smiling and feel safe, something that we hadn't felt in a long time! YES I CRIED TEARS OF JOY WHEN I SAW THE EMAIL GIVING US FREEDOM! OTHERS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY, STEPHEN LETS YOU KNOW HE IS HERE FOR YOU AND IS 100% TO HELP YOU! Excellent way of showing empathy and listening, addressing and following through with a solution.

Will not respond to emails or phone calls. Usually didn't have a full answer to a question asked regarding the matter. I felt totally ignored all the time. Very rude. Don't trust this lawyer at all.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
