The experience I had with Mr Porter Allred has been nothing short of amazing. I had a complicated case that also had elements of workers comp. He set me up with a workers comp attorney that guided me through that whole process. I also had injuries that resulted in surgeries and Porter checked in on me regularly to see how I was doing, he felt more like a buddy than an attorney. After the workman’s comp case closed out Porter began helping me with my insurance case. He remained steadfast and persistent and all the while he was very positive and reminded me at times how fortunate I was to have not been more seriously injured or killed!! After 2 years he reached an amazing agreement with the powers that be resulting in an amazing settlement. I CANNOT thank Porter Allred and his team enough for all the amazing help! I would’ve been lost without them!
Sincerely,
Phil Mauro

My husband and I were involved in a three car pileup back in September 2017. As strange as it sounds, that was the best thing that could have happened to us. My husband and I both had severe back pain and damage to our car from the accident. Neither of us were sure what to do so we hired Drue Solomon. He answered all of our questions and made the process so easy for us. He sent us to the best chiropractor in the area and we received compensation from the accident. Car accidents are stressful and scary enough as it is. We really felt confident that Drue had our best interests at heart. I am so grateful for his help and would highly recommend him.

My wife and I were Rear-ended and were drowning in what we should do. We called up Drue Solomon for advice. He was very knowledgeable about the whole process and offered his services. We have never worked with a lawyer before, but we are so grateful we hired Drue. We had damages to our car and both my wife and I were in a lot of pain. With in a day of us giving him all the information on the accident he had us at the best chiropractic office in the city. We never had to deal with the insurance companies as he took care of everything for us. He was very patient with all our questions and worked hard to make sure that we were taken care of. He kept us in the loop throughout our whole case, and was easy to get a hold of if we had further questions. Instead of our life becoming worse because of someones mistake, we were able to continue living our lives. Thank you Drue for your hard work.

Exceptional Legal Representation! We had the privilege of working with Adam Muslusky and his team after a car accident that involved a hit and run.It was traumatic and confusing and i didn't know what to do. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to ensure my case was handled with care and expertise. Exceptional Legal Representation!

Jennifer R has been informative and helpful with every step especially with negotiations and follow up. Adam’s honesty, insight, intelligence, and dedication truly set him apart.

Excellent guy ... Excellent/caring attorney. Highly recommend.
A few years ago, I was hit by a drunk driver in the course of my work. I had major damage to my ankle (and other parts of my body). Because this was both a personal injury case and work comp, it was not pretty! I was referred to an attorney, only to be dropped by that attorney because his partner represented the at fault insurance company. Frustrated and without counsel, I searched for someone to help. Being dropped by another attorney made it very difficult to find another. I reached out to a college friend who is an attorney here in Las Vegas. She specializes in work comp, but could not help me as she was about to go on medical leave. She recommended her friend - Adam Muslusky. For 2 years, Adam represented me ... more than represented me, he became my friend through this painful process. My employer treated me horribly ... the work comp insurance company faught everything. Adam was able to get me bi-weekly checks from work comp to cover my expenses. He was always available to me - even after hours if I had a question. Surgeries and lots of physical therapy later, it was time to settle. Adam fought hard on my behalf. Nothing makes up for all of the pain and suffering I truly went through, but I can confidently say Adam Muslusky and his staff were by my side the entire time. I have no problem ever recommending him! I have used Adam on other legal matters since. I am happy to answer any questions!!!

I switched from another attorney because of lack of communication. I have both of my attorneys personal cell phone numbers and can contact them anytime, this makes me feel very involved in my case.They got me to a Dr. who has a upstanding reputation, and will not only help my case but actually care how I want to handle my medical treatment. When they took my case they also took my 3 childrens cases over from the other law office because it was already settled but we had been waiting more than 2 months to set up their accounts. The Palmer law office not only set up the accounts without a fee, they found that there was over $2000, that was unaccounted for in all the court documents the other office did, so my kids got a lot more than we had agreed on. You tell me, where WOULD that money had gone?
When you speak to them they are so personable yet professional, but that makes me feel so good about having them on my side is it's so obvious they have three things that we do not see enough of... An amazing work ethic, values and morels. I carry their cards everywhere because after dealing with the other attorneys office, I want everyone to get the genuine treatment I get!

I switched to william palmer in the middle of my case. Without giving to much detail, I can say these men got my case settled for far more than I would have ever thought. I had their personal cell phone numbers and constant contact with them. They were not looking to line their pocket, they were genuinely trying to do what was best for me my case and my children.I recommend them to anyone who wants a personal professional relationship with their lawyers. and I have the utmost faith that they will get the maximum amount of whatyou are entitled to. really I just want to tell you how genuine they are and they have earned the title of my family's lawyer

I recently used this firm to represent me on a legal matter. Throughout the duration of the case, this office was both professional and courteous. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my calls were returned promptly and my emails answered in a timely manner. Attorney Jeff Neeman personally returned my phone calls and met with me in person on multiple occasions. Ultimately, Mr. Neeman was able to reach a very satisfactory settlement with the opposing side. I am extremely happy with the outcome and will recommend him to others.

When my father began losing his health, it was a very stressful and sad situation. My father was no longer able to make decisions based on his illness. One of my friends told me that I would need to become his legal guardian so that I could begin to make decisions for him. I really didn't want to go through the process but his health began deterring more and more everyday. I turned to Corrine for help. She walked me through the entire process and made sure everything was listed in the paperwork so that I could help my dad to the best of my ability. The process was easy with the help of Corrine. I would recommend her to anyone that is going through a similar situation.

When I was hurt on the job, I didn't know what to do. I immediately thought that my injuries would heal quickly and I would be able to continue at work. I took a half day and thought I would be back to normal the next day. I didn't think I had a case because I made myself feel that it was my fault. However, when I woke up the next day, I felt even worse. I called a few law firms and let them know what happened. I didn't really get anywhere by speaking with them and felt even more confused. I came across the Law Offices of Patti, Sgro, Lewis & Roger after I spoke to about 3 other attorneys' offices. When I called, they transferred me to Corrine. She was really nice and made me feel better about the situation. She let me know that I actually did have a case based on what I told her and to come in for a consult. She took good care of my case and made sure that I got the right care for my injuries. She walked me through all the steps and helped me get through the process. She is very good at what she does and I am happy that I chose her to handle my case.

I was going through a tough child custody matter, and what set Jeremy apart from the rest is that he listened. I never felt shooed off a phone call or from a meeting, he gave me all the time I needed to talk it out and go over my options. I wish I wasn't in this situation but I'm greatful for meeting Jeremy. His staff is kind too.

I had an accident and I found them on line. The case was a personal injury case. I called the office and spoke to David Kohlmeier, Case Manager. He took action right away and set me up with a car service to pick me up because he was concerned about my accident. I came into the office and he even met me downstairs to help me to the office since I was using crutches. He then introduced me to Hazel, Personal Injury Case Manager. I was then introduced to Michael Becker Esq. They had my settlement in a matter of 3 months. I was very happy with my whole experience with the law firm and I was very pleased with the settlement amount. I want to thank Hazel, David and Michael Becker for an amazing experience... PS: Hazel is amazing, she helped me through the whole process....Jeremy Beasley Esq also assisted me with this case along with Hazel

Had Lloyd George as an attorney back in the 70's so i'm a little biased. Ms. Sakalauskas is very patient and understanding regarding injured workers. Takes a little bit to get this Attorney fired up, but she can and will get agressive when it is needed. Without her assistance the system would have ate me up. Thank you Lina!

I am so thankful to have found Michael Wood as my lawyer for my workers compensation case. I had no idea that I was going to be able to receive as many benefits as I did, and he helped me get them. He is very smart and really knows the law. He constantly fights for the rights that you are entitled to and he is very competent in his skills. I would highly recommend Michael Wood to all of my family and friends. In fact I already have! Go to Michael Wood as your lawyer and you won't regret it.

I came to attorney Michael Paul Wood's office because I needed help with a shoulder and back injury that I suffered at work. I had no idea how the workers' compensation system worked, or that it was even possible for me to get treatment for my injury. But, thanks to Michael and his team, I've since learned that I'm entitled to medical treatment, benefits, and I've learned what my rights are. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful when it comes to helping someone learn the ropes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a pro, but I trust that Michael is extremely capable of handling my case and helping me get better. His staff is always professional and courteous, and I'm so thankful to have found them.
I've referred all of my friends and family to his office. If you need someone who's down to earth, intelligent, and will fight to the very end for you, attorney Michael Paul Wood is for you.

I had Mr. Cox for my personal work injury. He was excellent. It took a couple of years and they tried so many tactics to delay or avoid it all. But Mr. Cox, was great with his work and proved everything. In the end I was happy and relieved with all his help. He was a life changer and I would not be where I am today without his help.

Mr. Goldberg worked hard for me and my wc/pi cases from the start till the end. He was available to answer my questions, calm my fears and prepare me for hearings. He sent me to good doctors and looked over the doctor's reports to make sure I received the care I needed. He fought with the adverse insurance to get my car fix and to get the money I deserved. He was very knowledgable, friendly and down to earth.

Dean Patti and his staff exceeded all my expectations. I was so upset and injured after I got into an accident this year. My nearly brand new car was totaled when I was t-boned. I knew my hospitals were going to be high, and I had high deductibles. My employer recommended I speak to Dean, and I am glad I did. He gave me his cell phone number and told me I could call or text him anytime. I was surprised he answered, and when he couldn’t answer right away, he had one of his other attorneys contact me. In no time, he got the full insurance policy limits from the driver that hit me and from my own insurance policy, and then he negotiated down my medical bills so I can get some money for my pain and suffering. I would definitely recommend Dean and D.R. Patti & Associates.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Moss Berg and such wonderful team for accepting my case in which originally was in the hands of Golighly & Associates. Moss Berg and team are ultimately the BEST Injury Lawyers and by far better than any of their competitors you will see all over town on those huge billboards! I am recommending Moss Berg to all my friends and family and as many individuals I possibly can. Not to get in details at my case, I will just simply say that the outcome was worth the wait and the results were beyond my expectations. Honestly just impressive!

Rivera law group was recommended to me after a car accident in January 2024. The initial reason for choosing them, other than a recommendation from someone I trust, was the fact that they have offices in Las Vegas and Reno. I live in Reno and work in Las Vegas and my accident was in Las Vegas. This made the communication, and the scheduling of appointments easy for me because I could do them on both ends. Shortly into the process after getting to know the staff and my first long conversation with Tristan I knew I had made the right decision as this was not the attorney experience that you hear about. Tristan and his crew are so kind and understanding and incredibly helpful through the entire process that I couldn’t imagine having chosen a different firm. I couldn’t be more pleased with the work that was done and the outcome! It was truly the best experience out of a bad situation that I could imagine! Highly recommend Tristan and his crew!

This was a solid medium experience due to the fact that I felt the case was dragged out due to a mistake on the team's part. After I had agreed to the final settlement amount in 2023, I was told that the amount was incorrectly calculated and turned out to be significantly less. The attorney at that time reached out and offered to go another year to make back some of the difference, but in the end, she left the company and there was no extra compensation. With better communication from the beginning, this would not have happened. I was very frustrated during the entire first year because I would call the office, text, or leave messages, and would not hear back for months at a time.

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.
