How Much Does a Workers' Comp Lawyer Cost in Nevada?
Most Nevada workers' compensation attorneys, including my office, work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing upfront, and no fee at all unless I recover additional benefits for you. The industry standard fee is 33⅓% (one-third) of any permanent partial disability (PPD) settlement/award and retroactive benefits obtained. This percentage can vary based on the complexity and amount of work involved in your specific claim or issue. Consultations are always free.
What This Means for You
- No upfront cost. You don't pay a retainer or hourly fee to have me evaluate or work your case.
- No fee unless you recover. If I don't win additional benefits, you owe nothing for my time.
- Fees are regulated, not negotiable case-by-case. Attorney fees in Nevada workers' comp cases are governed by statute and must be approved through the hearings/appeals process — I can't simply set my own rate.
- The 33⅓% standard applies to PPD settlements and retroactive benefits — not to your ongoing medical treatment or weekly disability checks, which are separate from any fee.
Every claim is different, and the amount of effort a case requires can affect the final fee. During your free consultation, I'll walk you through exactly what to expect for your specific situation.
Do I have to pay anything to talk to a workers' comp attorney in Nevada?
No. Consultations are free, and you're never charged just to discuss your case.

What I Charge For Workers' Compensation Cases
- No charge for free information about Nevada law and the claims process.
- No charge for my Injured Workers' Guide.
- No charge for me to answer a general question on the law via email.
- No charge for me to review your PPD award and for me to tell you whether I think it can be increased or not. Fax your PPD report and the offer letter to (702) 731-9097.
- No charge for a 45-minute consultation if you have a serious injury, or a denied claim, or you would benefit from having an attorney represent you throughout the claims process.

- My usual attorney fee for representing an injured worker is 33⅓% of any permanent partial disability award, and a 33⅓% contingency fee if I go to hearings to get retroactive benefits. I do not usually charge a fee from a minimum lump sum vocational rehabilitation buyout, but do charge a contingency fee if I go to hearings to get vocational rehabilitation benefits at all or negotiate a settlement.
- Feel free to discuss attorney’s fees with me. I may agree to a lesser fee depending on how much legal work will be required.
- I never ask for any retainer fees or upfront charges.
- If the case involves permanent total disability benefits where there will be no PPD award, we will agree on a reasonable fee that is affordable to you, the injured worker.
Broaden your Horizon
I won’t take a case if I don’t think I can provide value to the injured worker with my knowledge of the law and the claims process. I provide genuine caring for people whose lives have been affected by a work accident or illness. I work to get better medical care, timely and correct benefits, best retraining options, higher awards, long-term planning, and reopening help.
