        "text": "In San Diego, workers' compensation lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis. This means you generally do not pay upfront fees. Instead, the lawyer receives a percentage of the benefits they recover for you. The fee percentage is set by the state's Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) and is usually between 10% and 15% of your final settlement or award. This arrangement allows injured workers to access legal representation without immediate financial burden.",
