How does Vaughan Law Group handle the costs necessary for a successful result in a workers comp claim?
Vaughan Law Group (as well as most Florida and Orlando workers compensation lawyers) advances all costs on behalf of its clients and will not recover them from the client unless the case is won at trial or settled.

How long will my workers compensation case last?
This is a difficult question to answer without knowing the specific issues with your workers compensation case and the specific facts of your case. However, a general rule-of-thumb would be within 3-9 months for cases that don’t have to be put into suit and 12-24 months for cases that are filed on.
Do I have to go to trial for my workers compensation claim?
Again, the specifics of each case will help decide whether a trial would be advantageous to you. However, you will never HAVE to go to trial; that will be up to you. In most cases, court ordered mediation allows the parties to get together and resolve your workers compensation case prior to any hearings or trials.
