Welcome to JH & Associates
The regulations and time limits surrounding workers' compensation claims, hearings and appeals are complicated. It can quickly become overwhelming for individuals trying to receive benefits on their own. A skilled Pennsylvania workers' comp lawyer can guide individuals through the entire process and ensure no steps are missed.
At JH & Associates, we understand the frustration people feel after being hurt by a work injury. The frustration increases when an employer or employer's insurance carrier challenges or denies the compensation claim. Sometimes, workers are paying for medical treatment out of their own pockets and are not receiving money for lost wages.
If you have suffered an illness or injury while performing your work duties, contact a knowledgeable workplace accident attorney to learn more about your options regarding workers' compensation benefits.
Litigation Costs
The amount an attorney may be paid in a workers' compensation case is controlled by the Workers' Compensation Act. No attorney may receive more than 20 percent of wage loss or medical benefits for his or her representation.
Expenses incurred in litigating a case are advanced by the employee or his or her attorney. Costs can include payment for medical records, reports and payment to a doctor for testimony. Costs can be significant, often more than $2,000. The Washington workers' comp lawyers at JH & Associates pays these costs as part of normal litigation. Be sure your attorney is not asking you to advance these costs.
