Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Percentage of a Lien? No. IF a judge at trial orders Temporary Disability Indemnity paid by the Insurer, THEN the judge can order a percentage of that award for the attorney's services, and some or all of that award could go towards the EDD lien. ALSO: if the Compromise & Release Agreement finally resolving all issues includes some amount to resolve the EDD lien, the attorney would be awarded a percentage of the entire C&R total, so indirectly the attorney gets a portion of the money used to resolve the EDD lien.
