Statutory law governs the fee structure in Florida and establishes a fee of 20% for any recovery up to $5,000. The fee structure for a recovery of $5,000 to $10,000 is 15%, while the fee structure for any award over $10,000 is 10%. The fee structure must be approved by a judge of compensation claims.
