Jon took on my case after I was already 1 1/2 years into my claim. Most of the funds in my case were already depleted. My case/injury was small in comparison to most other cases but that didn’t matter! I was always given the attention and effort that I needed. Any phone call that couldn’t be answered immediately, was always returned, even if Jon was done for the day and driving home. He never left me hanging. The staff was always professional and I wrapped up my claim feeling as satisfied as I could be considering the details of my claim. I would whole heartedly give my recommendation for Boesen Law!

I was hit by a drunk driver several months ago and had serious injuries. I wouldn't have thought of contacting a lawyer until both insurance companies, mine and other driver's, asked for recorded interviews with me. I didn't want to take a chance on saying something that would jeopardize my claim. A friend referred me to Mike Keating. He and his associate, Deidre Ostrowski, represented me throughout the process of settling my claim. I received more money than I could ever have expected. But that is only part of the story. In working through the process, I had to deal with two auto insurers, my health insurance company, two health care providers, the ambulance company, the towing company and Medicare. Amy, staff member with the firm, took care of the paperwork and kept me well informed throughout the process. She really had to educate me, since this was my first experience with such a claim. She was incredibly patient, always pleasant and very efficient. Overall, I felt that Mike and Deidre represented me very effectively, and I recommend them and the firm to anyone in a similar situation.

Mike was beyond amazing to work with. He is an incredible attorney and we got a favorable outcome on my case. From our first phone call he listened to me and was very sympathetic for my situation. I had spoke with several lawyers prior and they were not as kind or compassionate as he is.
This was my first time needing a lawyer. Mike helped make the entire process smooth and not intimidating. He is very good at his job and does it with ease. He is also very reasonably priced.
I fully recommend Mike if you are in need of an attorney. I hope to not need a criminal defense attorney in the future but if I do, Mike will be the one I call and who I refer people to.

Jake and his team were incredibly helpful after I was in a serious car accident caused by another driver. I had no idea what to expect and Jake walked me through everything with clear expectations. Jake and his team provided support, were very knowledgeable, and made it clear they care about their clients. His paralegal, Nicol, provided resources for medical care and transport services when I had trouble getting to appointments and I always had a quick email reply to any questions. I went from being completely despondent after the accident to feeling hopeful for a good outcome. Ultimately, I got a really great settlement and I have Jake and his team to thank for that.

This was the best decision I ever made! I worked with Stacy Earp during my journey through my lawsuit and she was absolutely amazing! She was great about communicating with me and updating me with any new information. I didn’t know much going into all of this and Stacy was so patient with me. She helped me understand every part of the process and both Dianne and Stacy did a great job. Thank you guys for really making a big impact on how this all turned out!

I had to find a divorce attorney quickly, very tough to call everyone on google randomly, trying to find help in a fast moving horror situation. Most firms tell you money right now or 250-4000 dollars upfront, but then I found Jasmine with Modern Family Law. She didn’t talk dollars & was an angel to speak with, after Christmas of all times. She listened to everything, never making me feel like time was up. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use her moving forward because of state rules in divorce, but she explained whatever she could, leaving the door open to reach out again. Great advice, going above and beyond.I feel very grateful to speak with Jasmine. Thank you.

I strongly recommend Michael Kaplan of Kaplan Morrell, for any workers compensation issue. The company I was involved with put forward an incredibly low settlement offer, and Mr. Kaplan, recognizing this, went to work to get a fair settlement. The settlement he negotiated was 4 times more than their original offer, and I couldn’t be more pleased. He and his assistant, Tammy, are client focused and provide superb service. John W.

Thank you Michael for being not just an attorney working on my behalf, but being a friend.

Cliff Eley has been my lawyer since 2005. I was injured on the job and did not want to get a lawyer. I wanted to handle it on my own but it got to where I needed a surgery that the insurance company denied. Cliff was able to get me the surgery and a great $ettlement. I could tell that his focus was more on my well-being than the money he could make. ... Even though he was already paid in 2005, he did not withdraw and continues to help me whenever the insurance company hassles me, tries to close my case etc... ¡GRACIAS CLIFF!

I had a highly complex case and was passed from lawyer to lawyer. Robert walked in and was confident he could help me glue the pieces to my puzzle back together. It was a long and what would normally be a frightening battle, but the master lawyer knew exactly what to do to put it a together for my well being. I will only refer to Robert when I come across MVA or Work Injuries. I have no reservations about his capability in treating others the same. He is hands down the best lawyer.

Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro represented me due to Workman’s Compensation (W.C.) refusing to honor a Settlement Agreement from 2003. In that agreement W.C. was to pay for all medical bills as related to my work related injury until my death or until treatment was no longer required. I had followed all of the requirements related to me under that agreement. W.C. was refusing to pay for a replacement battery and/or new Neuro-Stimulator. W.C. had paid for two stimulator/battery replacements. W.C. attorneys and their pharmaceutical company were attempting to dictate to the treatment provider what medications I should be taking. The hearing was scheduled for April of 2017. I had been on name brand Neurontin since 2001. Whenever a new generic brand of Neurontin came on the market my medication was changed to the generic. I had complications with each time. W.C. was pressuring the doctor to retry the generic medications again. They were also trying to change my time released morphine tablet to a generic that would need be generic that would need to be taken throughout the day. Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro immediately stopped the W.C. Attorneys from this ongoing situation. The medication was no longer an issue. Prior to the scheduled court hearing my Neuro-Stimulator Battery went completely dead. Due to the pain I was in my Pancreases failed to work. I had no history of diabetes. I ended up in the ICU with an A1C Level of 14. The scale goes to 10. My sugar level was 703. I was diagnosised with Type 1 Diabetes. The morning on the day my hearing was to occur I received a call from Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro that W.C. had agreed to all of my requests. I had surgery for a new Nervo Stimulator and Battery three days later. Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro is an incredible attorney who worked on my case late into the evenings and on weekends. She would call me to check on how I was doing and if I needed anything. Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro truly cares about her clients. I have never met an attorney who would worked so hard to help someone. Thanks to the incredible work and dedication of Mrs. Tenreiro I’ am very proud to report that since having the Nervo Stimulator my Pancreases is now fully functional. I’m no longer on any Diabetic medication. Until recently I had been on some form of narcotic since April of 2001. I also very happy to report I no longer require any narcotics (Morphine). I thank God every day for Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro, without her excellent expertize I would not have the results I have today. The Endocrinologist tells me each time I see him that I should not be here. People with the A1C and Sugar Levels I had do not live to get another chance. W.C. Attorneys almost cut my life short by refusing to honor a Court Ordered Settlement Agreement. Do not let W.C. do this to you. Seek Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro help before you have to go through unnecessary pain and suffering so an insurance company can save money at the risk of your health. Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro and her entire staff are very professional, caring, and work diligently on your case. Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro and her staff respond to phone calls and questions promptly. I highly recommend Mrs. Martinez-Tenreiro and her staff to represent you.

I had the opportunity to have Kaplan Morrell handle my workers compensation claim. They were actually referred to me by The Jordan Law firm and were very highly recommended. I feel so very grateful to Kaplan Morrell. Their whole team was fantastic. I worked a lot with Tammy Roberts from their office and she was amazing! She answered all my questions, always kept me informed with numerous updates, was always quick to respond and helped navigate me through the complexities of the whole legal process. Though I know they handle many clients, they always made me feel like I was their only client. They are very good at what they do. They settled my claim very quickly and professionally. They ended up getting me a settlement that I was very pleased with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to help them with a workmen compensation claim.

I had a vehicle accident in 2020. It is now late 2023 and I can't tell if this case is still on going. They lack communication. I had a lawyer work with me up til the part they negotiate and then he goes quiet. The law firm ends up firing him. And now I'm with a new attorney and he hasn't said nothing other then an email stating who he was and that he's taking over my case. 0/10. Would never recommend this law firm to anyone.

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.
