        "text": "Workers' comp lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if you win your case, either through a settlement or an award. Their fee is a percentage of the total benefits you receive, which is usually set by state law and approved by a workers' compensation judge. You generally won't pay upfront fees or hourly charges. This arrangement allows injured workers to access legal representation without financial burden during a difficult time.",
