U.S. Magistrate Judge David Horan recently dealt with a fierce dispute over fee sharing among attorneys who represented a plaintiff in a personal injury case that concluded with a significant settlement with Fluor Intercontinental. In the lawsuit, David Dawson, a civilian contractor, sued Fluor, an Irving,Texas-based construction company with energy-related projects all over the world, for severe burns he sustained in 2007 while working in Iraq. Dawson accused Fluor of causing his serious injuries as a result of Fluor’s negligent operations.
