Austin Ortiz

Austin Ortiz works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Hawaii. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Austin Ortiz handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Hawaii, including Denied Claims, Slip and Fall, Repetitive Stress, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Hawaii, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Austin immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Austin Ortiz's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 31 years of experience in Hawaii workers' comp law, Austin knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.
