        "text": "Most job injury lawyers, particularly in workers' compensation cases, work on a contingency fee basis. This means you typically don't pay upfront legal fees. Instead, the lawyer's fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, either through a settlement or an award. This percentage is usually set by state law and approved by a workers' compensation judge. If you don't recover compensation, you generally don't owe attorney fees. Initial consultations are often free.",
