Illinois Workers Compensation Attorney Fees Schedule

Attorney's fees in workers' compensation cases are fixed by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act. In general, fees will not exceed twenty per cent (20%) of the amount of permanent total disability compensation recovered on behalf of an injured worker. The Law Offices of Bradley S. Dworkin & Domenic Maciariello will not take a fee on compensation that is paid for undisputed periods of temporary total disability or for undisputed medical expenses as paid, on the provision that the employer or its insurance company voluntarily pays such compensation and/or expenses in the proper amount and in a timely manner. In cases involving the death of a worker, an injured worker's total and permanent disability from further gainful employment, an injured worker's loss of earning capacity upon his or her return to work in comparison to the injured's earnings at his or her usual and customary employment, and for certain specified injuries, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act imposes specific limits on the fees an attorney may charge. The Law Offices of Bradley S. Dworkin & Domenic Maciariello complies with these limits.

Workers' compensation claims typically involve certain incidental out-of-pocket litigation expenses. Such expenses may include the cost of subpoenaing and/or copying medical and hospital records, independent medical evaluations, testimony fees for testimony by physicians and/or other expert witnesses, and court reporting fees. The Law Offices of Bradley S. Dworkin & Domenic Maciariello advances these necessary costs through the time of recovery, and these costs must be reimbursed to the office out of the recovery.
