A. In addition to an attorney's contingent fee, an attorney may request approval of the actual costs incurred in the prosecution of a claim by attaching a statement of costs to the Form 61.
(1) The attorney waives the
request for reimbursement of costs when he or she does not attach the statement
to the Form 61.
(2) Costs include
witness fees, expenses associated with the deposition of a witness, service
costs, or expenses associated with the evaluation or treatment of the
client.
B. If the attorney requests approval of costs not listed in A(2) above, the attorney must attach to the statement a copy of the employment contract. Additional costs may be allowed, in the commissioner's discretion, when the employment contract specifically states that the client agreed to pay the costs of phone calls, travel, copies, and other specifically stated expenditures.
