Lawyer fees in Illinois Workers Compensation case are often misunderstood.
You can get a lawyer to help you without paying any up front legal fees. This is called a contingent fee. In other words, you do not have pay anything unless the lawyer wins money for you. You pay at the end of the case.
In Illinois, the fee is limited to 20% of your recovery.
That is not bad, considering that recoveries can be worth thousands of dollars. They can also result in payment of medical bills and cover future medical.
