Oklahoma Limits Attorney Fees In Workman's Compensation Cases

Most of the time I get hired because the insurance company doesn't do what it is supposed to do...pay benefits that it contracted to pay.  I get paid at the end of the case out of the settlement.  Generally, even after paying the attorney's fee, my client has more money in his pocket.  My representation helps.  The intention of Oklahoma is to reduce attorney's fees in injured worker cases.  What this will do is provide a disincentive for lawyers to get involved and it will let the consumer fend for himself after the insurance company who has no limit on what it can pay its attornies.  This seems to be a denial of due process of law at its worst.
