How much does it cost to hire Derek?
Workers' comp attorneys work on contingency — you pay nothing unless you win. There are no upfront fees or hourly charges.

Simple claims may resolve in 3–6 months. Complex permanent disability or appeals cases can take 1–3 years.
What if my claim was already denied?
A denial is not the end. Derek regularly overturns denied claims on appeal. Contact the office immediately.
Do I need to report my injury first?
Yes — report your injury in writing to your employer as soon as possible. Delays can be used against you.
