Santiago v. Marriott Casualty Claims
26 FLW D350
Joint Petition Settlement Agreement provided for a lump
sum payment to the claimant inclusive of an attorney's
fee. In addition, the Joint Petition provided for the
payment of a previously contested medical bill with
reservation of jurisdiction to determine entitlement to
attorney's fees for past services outside fees awarded
pursuant to the lump sum payment. JCC erred in denying
attorney's fee for obtaining payment of previously
contested medical bill on the ground that all fees were
included in the lump sum payment. The Joint Petition
specifically said that jurisdiction was being reserved
by the Judge of Compensation Claims to determine
attorney's fees for past services rendered.
