Your Employer Legal Plan Benefit
Put It to Work for You

When you use your employer-sponsored legal plan for a personal injury case, our attorney fees are capped at just 25% of the settlement or recovery. This is a HUGE savings compared to the standard contingency fee of 33% or more that most personal injury attorneys charge. For example, on a $100,000 settlement, you would save $8,000 or more by using your legal plan benefit. On a $200,000 recovery, you save $16,000 or more. You pay nothing upfront — our fee only applies if we win your case or reach a settlement.

We serve legal plan members across four states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Whether you live or were injured in any of these states, we can help you with personal injury claims, bankruptcy filings, and property assessment appeals through your ARAG, MetLife, or LegalEase legal plan.

Yes. ARAG, MetLife, and LegalEase legal plans typically provide coverage for bankruptcy-related legal services. As a panel attorney for all three plans, we can help you with Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings. Coverage details vary by employer, so we recommend checking your specific plan documents or calling your plan provider to confirm what is covered. Contact our office and we’ll help you verify your coverage at no charge.

Check your employee benefits portal, your most recent benefits enrollment guide, or contact your company’s HR or Benefits department. Legal plans are often listed alongside other voluntary benefits like dental, vision, and life insurance. Many employees have this benefit and don’t realize it — or they enrolled during open enrollment and forgot about it. If you’re unsure, call us and we can help you figure out if you have coverage.

No. Personal injury cases through your legal plan are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket. Our fee of 25% is only collected if we win your case or reach a settlement. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing. This is the same “no win, no fee” structure used by most personal injury attorneys — but at a significantly lower rate (25% vs. 33%+).

Yes. Property assessment appeals are a covered service under many employer-sponsored legal plans. If you believe your home’s assessed value is too high — resulting in inflated property taxes — we can help you file an appeal and represent you before the local assessment review board. This service is available to legal plan members in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. A successful appeal can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars per year in property taxes.

The difference is substantial and grows with the size of your case. Here are some examples:

$50,000 settlement: You save $4,000+ (pay $12,500 instead of $16,500+)
$100,000 settlement: You save $8,000+ (pay $25,000 instead of $33,000+)
$200,000 settlement: You save $16,000+ (pay $50,000 instead of $66,000+)

This is one of the most valuable and underused benefits in most employees’ benefits packages. If you’ve been injured and have a legal plan through work, you owe it to yourself to take advantage of this capped rate.
