FAQ
Q: What is a lien, and how does it affect my personal injury settlement?
A: A lien is a legal claim placed on your personal injury settlement or court award by a healthcare provider or insurer to ensure they are reimbursed for treatment related to your accident. This claim must be satisfied before you receive your remaining funds. Without proper lien resolution, a large medical lien can significantly reduce the net amount you take home. Our legal service specializes in managing and resolving these claims to protect your recovery.
Q: What exactly is Lien Resolution in the context of a personal injury case or mass tort case?
A: Lien Resolution is the specialized legal and administrative process of identifying, verifying, negotiating, and satisfying a legal claim (a lien) that a third party holds against a personal injury settlement or judgment.
These claims are typically asserted by entities that paid for the injury-related medical treatment, such as:
-
Hospitals and medical providers
-
Private health insurance companies (subrogation claims)
-
Government programs like Medicare and Medicaid (which require strict compliance under federal law)
The goal of our Lien Resolution service is to ensure that all valid legal obligations are met accurately, while simultaneously using legal defenses and negotiation strategies to reduce the total amount owed. This critical step guarantees a clean case closure, protects the client from future liability, and ultimately maximizes the client's final net settlement recovery.
