Re: attorneys fees

Because every state has a different Workers' compensation Act it would be difficult to comment on whether your attorney should be taking fees on your TTD benefit. In Illinois the attorney is entitled to a fee if the TTD is being disputed. You should contact the Idaho Industrial Commission and talk to someone there.
