This video reviews issues surrounding workers’ comp applicant attorney liens. If you are an injured worker with a California injury, and don’t have an attorney, this video is intended to help provide an overview of workers’ compensation topics so you can better represent yourself.
If you fire your attorney, that attorney can still file a lien to get awarded part of your settlement. That may occur whether you fire the attorney, or he or she gets dismissed as attorney of record. That is because California applicant attorneys work on a contingency, and they can still get a portion of the fee at the end of case depending on the amount and value of work performed.
Jeremy Lusk is a certified specialist in workers’ compensation with almost two decades of experience, and previously served as a Judge at the Fresno District Office of the WCAB. He has worked out of Fresno, but appeared at numerous Boards to represent both injured workers and employers/carriers.
No attorney/client relationship is created or implied by this video. This video is not offering legal advice as to what you should, or should not, do in your workers’ compensation case, but rather offers education/information as to the California workers’ compensation system for unrepresented workers so they can better represent themselves and make more informed decisions.
