I first contacted Paul and he reviewed documents to be submitted as evidence for submission with my BCNR request. I hired Paul because he was very knowledgeable, diligent, studious and insightful. Throughout the process I was always able to contact Paul for any questions or concerns that I had. I will recommend Paul to anyone I know who is looking for legal representation or legal advice. Paul is an excellent attorney.

While all 14 places I called either requested a some form of consultation fee to even begin or did not have the knowledge, Paul called me back after hours to hear my story. He listened attentively and , while his practice background was different and was not totally familiar with the regulations, he promised me he will review the regulations and call me back. He got back to me in a very timely fashion and provided me optimal solution to move forward. Although my case did not have any substantial damages that could be a cut for the firm, he went above and beyond with minimal flat rate fee. I actually came on top, with better results than i expected so I am very satisfied and I think he is very deserving of the payment that I made; if not more.
He was very helpful in every sense, from beginning to end - I am not sure what else I can say about him but I just want to assure 5 star rating and you can not go wrong!
Thank You Paul.

William Nixon was an incredible asset for myself and my family. I was in a good bit of trouble due to my addiction. I was full of fear and was a broken man mentally, physically, and spiritually. He never once made me feel judged or looked down upon. He was kind, compassionate, and honest no matter how tough the content of the conversation was. It was an honor to watch him on a monthly basis appear in court and speak on my behalf for over a year. I will always appreciate the job he did and the man he is.

After a horrible car accident where I was hit head on, I called Bill Nixon as he was referred to me by a friend. I'm glad I did. He took the time to explain the process, and worked hard to get me more than I could of hoped for. He set me up with top-notch doctors who were a huge help, as I had sustained some back injuries. I also appreciated that he kept me informed. If I ever need legal representation again, I will only call Bill Nixon!

I have had the pleasure of having Alan Bass as my attorney for several years. My first case will Alan was for a shoulder injury that I sustained and subsequently needed several surgeries to fix. Without Alan's expert advise and help my shoulder would not be in as good of shape as it is today. So naturally when I was involved in a serious traffic collision that caused me to injure my back the first person I thought of going to was Alan. After almost 4 years and a major back surgery I can honestly say that Alan and his staff has worked tirelessly for me and my case to ensure that I received all the necessary treatment to get me back to as close to normal as I could get. I know that my current case that was just recently settled with my back was very challenging at times especially due to the circumstances surrounding it but through it all Alan remained positive and extremely helpful. I have been honored to have Alan and his staff stand behind me and fight for me and my rights. My family and myself both think extremely highly of him and firm. I work in an very dangerous field and the chance of injury is always around the corner. If I ever find myself in the need for the type of representation that Alan has provided he would be my first and only choice to take on my case. I highly recommend Alan and his firm to represent anyone with a workers comp case to not only remain professional throughout the process but to genuinely show they care and make sure that your needs and rights are protected as they fight every step of the way for you. Thank you Alan for all you have done and continue to do for me and my case.

Robby Robbins is well respected attorney and is a true servant leader in our community. In addition to working directly with Robby on numerous boards in our area, my family retained Robby to represent my father who was seriously injured in an accident. Robby built a great relationship with my father and put him at ease about the entire process. He kept us well informed during each phase of the case and did an exemplary job presenting the case to the jury. We are all very pleased with Robby and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation.

Ms Syracuse helped me when I really needed it. I had other attorneys in the past that botched up my case bad and lot of time wasted. She had to do major damage control due to incompetent so called WC attorneys.
She’s an Attorney Specializing in Representing Injured & Disabled Workers
Ms Syracuse is the most genuine, compassionate person that my husband and I have met with the most personality of competence, openness to feelings, sincere, affectionate, friendly, positive emotions and conscientious.
She has honesty, integrity and willing to help everybody under any and all circumstances. Impeccable ethics and an unparalleled work ethic makes her an outstanding attorney who is capable, meticulous, and diligent. I’m going to outline some points about her.
• She was ALWAYS available and quickly returned my calls, text and emails.
• One sincerely rare attorney that really cares about you and your case!
• She is absolutely authentic, genuine, and full of passion to represent her clients.
• She will treat you like family, and handle your case like her own.
• She profoundly has her heart in helping people, and not only that; she has the superb and impeccable knowledge, skill, talent, and experience to handle any Workers Compensation case.
• She works tirelessly at all hours, including weekends, to represent her clients and take care of them.
• She left no stone unturned trying to find a solution to my case, and guided me every step of the way.
• She is committed to her clients, willing to work hard and truly cares about her client's well being, not just the case.
• She kept me updated on her case progress and made sure my expectations were in line with the many possible outcomes.
• She works extremely hard to take care of her clients and her stamina is unbelievable.
• She went above and beyond the call of duty what I thought a lawyer would ever do
• She will fight for your rights, I would highly recommend Ms Syracuse to anyone looking for a skilled attorney in the WC process of red tape that’s impossible to comprehend with new WC laws and lot of WC discrepancies that you hear in the news, totally impossible without an experienced attorney in that field I feel fortunate to have hired the perfect attorney, you will be too!

Melissa is one of the best lawyers that I have ever met she is there when you need her no mater what time of the day. I have used Melissa twice and she has went above and beyond what I have ever had with any other lawyer. She is not one of the lawyers that you see on TV or even the radio you talk to her not a paralegal she is the one that makes the phone call for unpaid bills or a missing check I will use her again and again if need be I would tell anybody to use her she is the best lawyer period.

I've been thoroughly impressed with Zandra. She made me feel like I was her only client when I was with her working on my custody case which was different than lawyers in the past. I trusted her with my case and to be able to bring me the best outcome. I've seen lawyers in the past make clients feel that but they ask for something in court that they can get that result just because they want it. She fought for me but didn't sugar coat and make me believe I could get things that I wouldn't be able to get because the judge is still a person too as well as an opposing side that wants things their way. Zandra is very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed with her knowledge and her ability to weigh outcomes from her experience. I will definitely be recommending her to others!

Bryan Ramey is, in my opinion an excellent lawyer who will handle the clients and cases he takes with an exceptionally high degree of professionalism and integrity. He is an able negotiator who knows how to handle insurance companies that seek to lessen their liabilities by withholding what his clients are rightly due. I have personally witnessed him in action in depositions and mediations in which he successfully represented the needs and concerns of his clients. I would not hesitate to retain him and his firm in the event that I would ever need the range of services they deal with here in South Carolina. If Bryan takes your case he will fight with tenacity for your best interests.

Mr. Anderson and his team worked with me in navigating through a car accident in which I was rear-ended while at a complete stop. What initially appeared to be minor in nature, grew in complexity quickly due to 1 car triggering a cascading sequence of 4 other cars impacting one another. In addition to always answering my questions in a timely manner, Pam Halsnik, Paralegal for Grimes, Teich & Anderson, worked closely with me to understand each stage of my case. We were able to close this case within a reasonable amount of time and to my satisfaction.

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.
