Reading the roster in Bakersfield. Workers' comp runs through an administrative system, not civil court, so look for attorneys who appear regularly at the WCAB district office serving your area and know its judges and QME logistics. Fees are contingent and must be approved by the appeals board, typically 9–15% of the recovery, so representation costs nothing up front. Ask whether your facts also support a third-party civil claim, which comp attorneys often co-counsel with injury attorneys.
