Your attorney is entitled to a 20% fee on anything he has to fight for. If the claim was not accepted until after your attorney intervened, your attorney is entitled to a fee. If the adjuster on the claim simply decided to accept the claim, unrelated to any action by your attorney, then your attorney is not entitled to take a fee.
