Does the award of attorney fees in a personal injury case have to be adjusted to account for inflation?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Southeast Legal Defense Group v. Adams, 657 F.2d 1118 (9th Cir. 1981):

The issue of whether the award of attorney fees should be adjusted to account for inflation was first raised in plaintiffs' post-argument supplemental brief. We therefore decline to consider it. See Ellingson v. Burlington Northern, Inc., 653 F.2d 1327 (9th Cir. 1981).
