[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 814982, member: 484"] While most locals have a "deal" worked out with a lawyer, many of whom reduce the percentage by a point or two, a lot of times these guys are lazy. I had one once that the local recommended, and while he did get me 3% more than they originally offered without a lawyer, he got 4% of the total. So I walked away with an additional 1% less than if I did not have a lawyer. On top of that, it took almost 18 months longer to settle. Then, they wrote him the check, and I had to wait an additional two weeks for the check to clear, before they sent me my portion. So many times the difference between what they initially offer and the max allowed by law is very small, and not worth having a lawyer try to go after that small piece, and then get a percentage of the whole pie. Workers comp lawyers are a dime a dozen, choose wisely if you hire one. d [/QUOTE]
