My questions if i do that do worker comp get a have of the fist amount? Do i pay the lawer with the first amount or win the case close?
A: lawyer usually gets paid at each stage depending on the contract and if the stages are defineable. Suggest you sit down with your lawyer to figure out what is going on, face to face rather than over the phone.
