All fees in Workers' Compensation are subject to statutory guidelines and must be approved by the Judge of Compensation Claims. The costs an attorney incurs if the process of pursuing your claim are due over and above any fee earned. The employee is generally responsable for the payment or his or her own attorney's fee and costs except in limited circumstances where the employer or carrier is responsable for payment.

For more information regarding attorney fees and costs, call our office. The attorneys at John G. Thompson & Associates, P.A. can discuss this matter with you in more detail. Or you can visit the State of Florida, Division of Workers' Compensation's web site listed below.
