How we match your Mesa workers' compensation case

When you submit a Mesa workers' compensation matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

  1. Case type

    A workers' compensation matter needs someone who handles workers' compensation work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

  2. Size and complexity

    Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

  3. Jurisdiction and licensing

    Your matter is decided under Arizona law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Arizona who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

  4. Capacity and fit

    Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Most Arizona workers' compensation attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Arizona caps workers' comp attorney fees at 25% of contested benefits under A.R.S. § 23-1069, subject to Industrial Commission approval. Third-party personal-injury claims (against non-employer defendants) run outside the cap on standard 33%–40% personal-injury contingency.

Exhibit F

Mesa workers' compensation questions, answered

Still unsure? Tell us what happened and a Arizona attorney will review it for free.

Report the injury to your employer right away and get medical care; the treating provider and your employer submit forms to the state. Arizona has deadlines for filing the claim itself, so don’t wait. An attorney can make sure paperwork is correct and benefits start without delay.
Retaliation for filing a claim is unlawful in Arizona, though employers sometimes disguise it as layoffs or performance issues. Document everything and keep copies of your claim paperwork. If you suspect retaliation, an attorney can evaluate both your comp claim and a possible separate employment claim.
You can request a hearing before the state agency, where evidence about how the injury happened and its work connection is reviewed. There is a strict deadline to ask for that hearing. A workers’ comp attorney can gather medical opinions and represent you at the hearing.
One year from the date of injury or from when you knew or should have known the injury was work-related under A.R.S. § 23-1061. Arizona's 1-year limit is shorter than most states — missing it bars the claim outright.
It depends on the employer. In standard state-fund cases, the injured worker generally has initial choice. In ICA-approved 'managed care' programs and many self-insured plans, the employer/carrier directs care within a network. Disputes are resolved through the ICA hearing process.
