What are medical liens?

A: A medical lien is a claim placed by a medical provider (hospital, clinic, doctor's office) or an insurance (health insurance, car insurance) against any recovery from a lawsuit. By law, a person who is injured by the negligence of another, and who is medically treated for those injuries, must pay the expenses of such medical treatment before he/she can legally recover from his or her lawsuit. Once we have successfully settled your case or obtained a verdict in court, we will actively work with the lien holders to reduce and pay their liens on your behalf.
