HEARD v. LIBERTY MUT. FIRE INS. CO.

No. 08-91-00360-CV.

828 S.W.2d 457 (1992)

William HEARD, Appellant, v. LIBERTY MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, El Paso.

Rehearing Overruled April 29, 1992.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sam Moore, Abilene, for appellant.

Larry Zinn, San Antonio, Phillip Godwin, Odessa, for appellee.

Before OSBORN, C.J., and WOODARD and BARAJAS, JJ.

OPINION

OSBORN, Chief Justice.

The only issue on appeal is how should attorney's fees, advances and expenses, in a workers' compensation case which has been settled, be divided between two attorneys who represented the claimant. The trial court awarded each attorney his expenses and advances to the client and awarded the entire attorney's fee to the attorney who represented the client until shortly before settlement. We reverse and remand.
