CHAMBERLAIN v. AMERICAN AIRLINES

No. 66017.

740 P.2d 717 (1987)

Billy Dean CHAMBERLAIN, Petitioner, v. AMERICAN AIRLINES and Travelers Insurance Company, Respondents.

Supreme Court of Oklahoma.

July 14, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wilson Jones and Bryce Hill, Frasier & Frasier, Tulsa, for petitioner.

Jerry H. Holland and Arthur H. Adams, Sanders & Carpenter, Tulsa, for respondents.

KAUGER, Justice.

The only issue presented by the petitioner/claimant, Billy Dean Chamberlain, is whether, after he was awarded compensation for permanent total disability, the attorney fees awarded to his lawyer should be commuted to a lump-sum payment or if the fees should be paid periodically. We find that pursuant to 85 O.S. 1981 §§ 22(1), 41(B) and 48, attorney fees should be commuted to a lump sum.
