Yes, I hired him. The company hired a lot of lawyers. THat is what I meant, they only get a % of what you get. So if they "settled" for nothing but medical, and I might add, in December it was still active and I had fired him, so if it was settled without my knowledge for medical only, then not only did someone sign my name illegally but there was no settlement. So he would get % of nothing. I don't think a company representing a client would take that chance for nothing. Someone must have been paying him. Lots.
Thanks for the answer. I am thinking of calling 48 hours or something. HOw could this happen in this day and age?
Help me brainstorm. It's unreal.

In most states your wc atty only gets paid after the case is closed or settled.
Usually 22% I think, but then tops out at 5k.
It's been many years so I could be off on the amounts and other states may differ.
It did state how much $ & % plus any other fees on the contract I signed when I hired my wc atty.
I've heard others mention medicare set aside in the past, but I didn't understand how that worked...
You might do some searches to find out more about it.
