Workers' Comp
Workers' Comp Leads for Attorneys: Live Transfers and Signed Cases
How law firms buy workers' compensation leads: web form leads, live transfers of screened injured workers, or pre-signed cases. What makes a good lead and what to ask a vendor.
Key takeaways
- Workers' comp leads come as web form leads, live transfers or pre-signed cases.
- Live transfers suit firms with their own intake team; pre-signed cases suit firms that want signed cases only.
- A good lead was hurt on the job, is an employee, reported the injury, has been treated and is inside the filing deadline.
- With RingOnDemand you pay only for callers who passed your questions, and transfers usually start within 24 hours.
Workers' comp leads are injured workers looking for a lawyer, sold to law firms by a marketing company. Firms buy them three ways: as web form leads to call back, as live transfers (a screened injured worker connected to your intake line while still on the phone), or as pre-signed cases (the worker already signed to your retainer). Live transfers and pre-signed cases cost your intake team the least time, because the screening happens before the case reaches you.
Live transfers vs. pre-signed workers' comp cases
| Live transfers | Pre-signed cases | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | A screened injured worker, live on your intake line | A signed retainer and the completed intake |
| Who signs the case | Your intake team | We sign the claimant to your retainer |
| How you pay | Per transfer | Per signed retainer |
| Best for | Firms with their own intake team | Firms that want signed cases only |
Both run on the same intake script, built from your criteria.
What makes a good workers' comp lead?
A good lead is an injured worker who can bring a claim your firm takes. Our default workers' comp script checks that:
- The caller was hurt on the job.
- The caller is an employee, not an independent contractor.
- The injury was reported to the employer inside the window you pick.
- The caller has already seen a doctor or received treatment.
- The claim is inside the filing deadline for your state.
You can add anything else your firm requires, such as the states you take cases in or the injury types you handle. Read workers' comp intake questions for why each check matters.
Why buy calls instead of workers' comp form leads?
- The worker is ready to talk. Someone who calls after a workplace injury wants help now.
- Screening comes first. Contractors, unreported injuries and claims past the deadline never reach your team.
- No callback chase. Your intake team signs cases instead of dialing numbers that do not answer.
If a caller fails one of your questions, we do not transfer them and you do not pay for them.
What should you ask a workers' comp lead vendor?
- Where do the calls come from? Ours come from our own ads and a vetted publisher network, through the same intake script.
- Who writes the screening questions? You should. Your criteria go into the script.
- What counts as a billable call? A caller who passed your qualifying questions and was connected live to your intake line.
- Do I see every caller's answers? Every transfer is posted to you with the caller's intake answers.
- Is consent recorded? Every intake call is recorded, and we capture third-party consent certificates. See our compliance page.
- Is there a volume commitment? There is none: buy an order, measure your sign rate, and reorder when you want more.
How fast can workers' comp transfers start?
Usually within 24 hours of the signed order. We need the phone number that receives the calls, the hours you take them, and a daily cap.
